My friend take a look at IQ levels across Europe and you will see Italians are at the top. There’s a reason they ruled the World, launched the Renaissance, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and now Salvini saving Western Civiliztion. Get back to me when Mexico does any of that.

Ruled the world? LOL Italy is NOT Rome. Not even mostly genetically.

I’d argue that IQ stuff. Good at art, as are French and Spanish, but much else? No, the most famous Italians are for anything with true useful “IQ” was banking. Something about Latinates - obsessed with art, but not much else.

My family background is 100 percent Polish.

But based on many friendships and, particularly, the many durable Polish-Italian marriages in my extended family, I find myself from time to time identifying as a paisan just a bit.

You read the history and there are some interesting connections between Poland and Italy.

Did you know that Garibaldi’s Redshirts had a significant Polish contingent, including senior officers?

Not necessarily valid (not necessarily non bogus).

Ancient Roman, medieval Italian, modern Italian demographics not equivalent.
