What does «campanilismo» mean in Spanish?
- Attachment to the city or country, its customs and traditions. The defense of these values can sometimes lead to a spirit of rivalry with neighboring cities. Contemporary campanilism or parochialism, which is also often not without historical roots, includes rivalries between cities - both near and far - mainly related to sporting competitions. Campanilismo can assume a positive affirmation if it is considered synonymous with "defense of traditions"; in this case the expression healthy campanilismo is common. However, in general, campanilismo manifests itself in hatred or envy of the customs and habits of "neighbors" who are similar to each other.
