Title: "Regional strips 05: Basilicata? Who would he be?"
Author: J.J.
Warning: I might have failed in portraying correctly the regions involved. If that's the case just tell me. Those were done out of love for the Italian regions, not with the intent to offend someone.
Notes: After drawing the characterization for the Italian regions I ended up having ideas for them and drawing LOT of strips about them so... here there's one. It's nowhere near to the APH standards but well, I'm not Himaruya-san...
Characters: North Italy Veneziano (Feliciano Vargas), South Italy Romano (Lovino Vargas), Basilicata (Carmine Vargas)
Time: Modern time.

Hey, do I own something here? Oh yes, I own the plot and a sensible heart which would surely break if you give me harsh reviews... so please be honest but nice ok? Oh and the representation of the Italian regions are mine as well
Summary: Let's get to know Basilicata...

Old:
Regional strips 01: Meet Lombardia!
Regional strips 02: Magical Sicilia
Regional strips 03: Molise's fight
Regional strips 04: Seborga's boss, Liguria

What inspired this

Basilicata is probably the least famous Italian region even among Italian themselves, which is a pity because it too has many beautiful things. The stereotype for the Basilicatesi says that although they love Basilicata, they don't like to brag about their region. I didn't think much of it until I met some people from Basilicata. Maybe it was just my luck but it was hard to have them admit they were from Basilicata... though after a while they warmed up and started describing their region with love.
Due to all this you can see how I had the Italies being rather ignorant about Basilicata's beauty and importance and Basilicata acting as if he really is not worth being remembered (actually the list of things Basilicata had should have been longer but there was no more space...).
Oh, in case you don't know Basilicata's first name was Lucania, later changed into Basilicata... through people from Basilicata seem to prefer calling their region Lucania.

Basilicata's proverb of the day
I ciocc fann leit e i varreil s sfasc'n.
Gli asini litigano e a rompersi sono i barili
The donkeys fight and the barrels are the ones that get broken.
