I've been to Italy a few times and many people seem to believe Ferrari is like a religion to most of the population, but in my experience F1 is more popular in the north of the country with people in the south not so bothered. Football appears more important and more passionately followed in a greater proportion in my experience there. I think what people want you to believe on forums is very different to what is actually true.

The one time I went to Italy, the owner of the guest house we frequented in the village of Lesmo didn't know there was a Grand Prix on that weekend. Make of that what you will.
