The "least four" regions?
In what way are these regions the "least" of Italy? I think that should be clarified. -- Andrew Parodi 05:36, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I think you misunderstand what "at least" means. It is not saying the regions are "lesser" than other parts of Italy, of course not. I'd personally take offence to such a statement since my mom's family are Abruzzese. It is merely saying that the term "Mezzogiorno" definitely contains the four regions of Basilicata, Calabria, Campania and Puglia and, somewhat arguably, other regions like Sicily, Molise, etc. (although the large majority clearly consider the other regions part of the mezzogiorno). Hope this clarifies things, ciao. Epf 18:48, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Oh, thanks. I misread that. -- Andrew Parodi 23:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
You should back-up what you refer to as the 'Mezzogiorno Problem', whether it's something 'you're saying' or not. Sounds like an extended agenda tacked onto what is, ultimately, an article about an idiomatic term.
