North/South cultural distinction in Italy
There's cultural distinction from town to town
This is the map of dialects, just to give you an idea, and it's not even complete because some parts have not been cataloged (I think because they are influenced by foreign languages and therefore not pure Italian dialects) while larger areas that are marked with a single dialect have different subgroups that have not been marked.

It's not the accent (well yes, even that) but the words, you can move for 30 km and the words change, you still understand the speech but some things are called in a totally different way, 100 km and you speak a totally different language.
Obviously now everyone speaks Italian but 150 years ago it was different, the Italian was the official language to communicate with foreigners but the dialect was spoken in the life of every day, it's like the African colonies who have English, French, etc. as the official language but between them they speak African languages.
Italy never was unite after the Roman Empire, the unification was 150 years ago so you have 1500 years of small nations and city states, obviously in 150 years don't erease the cultural differences that were formed in 1500 years, this is both positive and negative, negative because we struggled to find a national identity and the differences are still there positive because competition among nations brought to develop the art, literature, cuisine, architecture, science, etc.
