[edit] Lega Nord

why write something about Lega Nord? I think we don't write about politics in this article, that is about Geography.

Northern Italy is a historical and cultural unit due to the influences of the Lombards, the unique position of the city states in the Middle Ages, the differences in cuisine and the higher industrialization. Politics is intertwined with this historical and cultural difference. I'm not supporting Lega Nord, the historical and cultural difference is nowhere near enough to call N. Italy a different nation or ethnicity, but there is a difference, just as there is a difference between New England and the South in the US

These issues should be discussed in this article.
