In fact, "cinema" is a French word, because the French revolutionized film study and filmmaking in the 1960s and most of the great American directors (George Lucas, Stephen Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsesee, Brian de Palma, Francis Ford Coppolla, Rob Altman) are influenced by the french "new wave" In terms of film, the French would have to win for their contributions to cinema.

No way of seperating them. One says Dante, the other says Victor Hugo; one says Verdi, the other says Debussy; one says the Pantheon, the other says Notre-Dame; one says Paris, the other says Rome; one says Matisse, the other says Raphael; one says Machiavelli, the other says Descartes. Renaissance Italy and Modernist France are two of those rare periods in history when everything quickened. Modern European literature began in France with the troubadours and trouveres and French literature dominated the vernacular literatures of the Middle Ages. On the other hand, it was Latin which it succeeded. Love them. Two thirds of the Holy Trinity (the other third being Greece).

These two countries are just so rich culturaly wise, on top of that France and Italy have a lot in common since there were many back and forth cultural exchanges and influences. Two great countries which appreciate and respect each other... As for tonight may the best win... definitely a draw… These two countries are just so rich culturaly wise, on top of that France and Italy have a lot in common since there were many back and forth cultural exchanges and influences.

I am half french, half german, so i know quite some stuff about food culture. I think reducing Italy to its pasta & pizza stuff is not fair. Especially northern Italy (due to its variated agriculture) has a lot of really sophisticated products, which are really great. On the other hand, I think all large countries in Europe contributed to the European cultural inheritage on a qualitative comparable way. I'd say it's a draw... There was a lot of inner European exchange throughout the history. I think it is really hard to compare the cultuure of two nations.
