THAT is the name they went with and not WHAMMO?

Are there any reputable sites to buy coins like these? It would be very fascinating to own one and imagine the history that could have accompanied it, no matter how lame it might have been.

Study the existence and wars of the Holy Roman Empire, how the Italian states broke away, how the Papal States were formed, et al.

I wonder when we'll be able to buy one of them.

One nice thing about Mussolini was that during his reign, he attempted to unite Italy under a single, common Italian dialect. This attempt was thwarted by WWII.

Northern Italy, likely thanks to the seaport of Venice, has historically enjoyed greater wealth through trade and gold. The North has long yearned to separate from the South due to this division of wealth.

Stuff I learned from an introduction to Italian language and culture thanks to an Italian teacher supporting the United States Army in northern Italy in 1990.

Savoy-Sardinia basically conquered the rest of Italy in a relatively few years after local nationalists had weakened the despots. Prussia sort of did the same in Norths Germany , states that joined an alliances against it ceased to exist after the wars (the ones i feel worst about are Hanover, Hesse-Kassel, Frankfurt and Anhalt-Zerbst,), but it took centuries and they ran up against th e Southern and other unbreakable states. And this is probably irrelevant crap.
