We saw more or less interesting aspects of our citizenship. We stopped on our belonging to an area, a region. Generally the relationship works really, in the sense that there is correspondence between own personal characteristics and the ones attributed to the "campanile", to the region or the area where we spend our day for work or for life condition. Can we say the same for an italian identity?
Maybe yes, maybe partially.
If it's true that we feel belonging to our little village or to our region, not always such identification works at 100% with our homeland, the one of the flag, or of the hymn, etc.
Sometimes it happens not to "feel oneselves italian".
Reasons can be different: historical, political, cultural, etc.
We happen to ask ourselves these questions just in this last decade, in which the concept of belonging to Europe is going to impose itself : in a certain sense it's true that enlarging the horizon to Europe forces us to verify our italian being, to measure our point of views, our characteristics, that make feel ourselves similar and at the same time different from the other European "fellow-citizens"
