Culture
The city council of Casnigo has claimed the title "homeland of the Baghèt"[3] (the Lombardy bagpipe), as the last traditional player of the instrument was the local Giacomo Ruggeri Casnigo (1905–1990).
gollark: What I am saying is that deliberately designing an electoral system and then messing with it so that a particular group consistently gets outsized amounts of power is bad, and that it isn't particularly justified based on "cultural differences" because there are lots of culturally different groups.
gollark: There are cultural differences based on different factors, though.
gollark: There are divisions other than rural/city. Why pick that one and muck with the system to favour one side of it?
gollark: I don't think that's what the electoral college does.
gollark: There's probably some nice mathematical definition based on mutual information or something like that, but roughly "altering one vote has the same effect on average on a nationwide election regardless of where the voter is".
