About South Italy...

This thing just popped in my mind.

Romano's curl represents Sicily, right?

..then, what about Sardinia? (you know, that little island under the Corsica)

I'm very curious about it (:

EDIT: Okay, it seems that the Romano info above is not right. Sorry!

LOL, tecnically there had been a moment in which Sardinia should have been part of the kingdom of Naple and Sicily should have been given to the Savoy (Treaty of Utrecht of 1713) but then the islands were exchanged by the respective rulers (Treaty of Londom 1720 if I'm not wrong...).

Yeah, should being the keyword. I know it was under Aragon and Castile's rule (just like the South), and then it was skirted off to Savoy, but I never really considered it as part of the Kingdom of Two Sicilies, and since Romano represents the latter I don't think Sardinia is involved with him, is all.

Which brings to the usual question: how to "split" Central Italy?

I go for the old Roman division until the Papal State was formed.
Then i turn the Papal State into a neutral/shared zone between the two and also into the dividing line between the two domains (bically leaving Romano all the kingdom of the Two Sicilies and Veneziano the rest) then, once Italy is one, I'll leave just Lazio as shared and 'dividing line' between the two... but that's just me. Hetalia seems to think FTuscany was under Veneziano since it rambles often how Veneziano had the better artists in Rinascimento... but also Hetalia seems to mix up Florence and Roma since, while the characters are in Rome you can see Santa Maria Del Fiore instead than San Pietro... -_- so maybe Hetalia has no clear ideas about what is where...
