Life is governed by perception. You can either choose to base your opinions & perceptions on reality, or on your personal fantasies & biases.
Italians are much closer to Iberians (the Spanish, Portuguese & Andulsians), than they are to Greeks. For certain closer to any country in Western Europe (culturally & for the most part genetically) than they are to the Eastern European, Hellenic, Greeks.
What similarities would you say Greeks & Italians share to make their culture similiar?
