Many people keep forgetting the center and the islands 😸😸 italian territory can be divided in 4 main groups:
Northern Italy that comprehends Valle d'Aosta, Piemonte, Liguria, Lombardia, Trentino Alto Adige, Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Emilia Romagna;
Central Italy la Toscana, le Marche, l'Umbria, il Lazio;
Southern Italy l'Abruzzo, il Molise, la Campania, la Puglia, la Basilicata e la Calabria;
The great Islands, la Sicilia e la Sardegna.

I agree with this map (picture related), but if I should divide Italy just into two parts, north and south, I'd put the border under the line between Grosseto, Perugia and Ancona.

Great thanks! I somehow missed the central Italy concept, there's always a lot of talk about how south laughs at north and north laughs at south, so I've started to wonder: where does for example Rome fit in☺️ so are people from central regions kind out neutral in this 'civil war' 😀?

@hrimthursheim it depends on who you are talking to. Northern people who mock the southerns usually don't see any difference between center and south, they are both "terún".
I'm from Bologna and there are people in the north who think that Emilia Romagna is not a northern region enough because it's under the Po (the biggest river in Italy), just imagine what they think about central regions :D
I don't know how it works in the South tho, I guess they're less inclusive when they talk about "polentoni" and they just don't care about the center.

According to history and linguistics,
La Spezia–Rimini Line separates Northern Italy and Southern Italy.

I'm from Rome and I may say that even if geographically speaking we belong to central Italy, we are a bit closer in personality to the south. This doesn't mean that all romans "support" the south's side: many people in Rome look up to the north's organization, wealth and opportunities. Some other romans feel instead they have to give back the hate they receive from some italians from the north, saying that Milan should be the capital and not acknowledging the beauty of our city. For this reason I believe Rome is not passive in this fight, although the central position.
Rome itself has a strong division between the north and the south of the city: accordig to stereotypes, the north is where young romans are spoiled by rich parents, people eat in expensive restaurants; the south is considered more alternative, with interesing musical events and creative reuse of public spaces.

there's no border but they're to very different places. watch "il nord vs il sud" by I pantelas for a better explanation
