(Manisha Mahar, Intern Journalist); Generally, the global influence of any country is judged by its military force, political dominance, and economic strength. But for some countries, their culture is their strongest side. Their food, fashion, and entertainment have left an indelible mark on the entire world. These culturally influential countries have recently been ranked by US News and World Report according to some of their criteria. These standards are the prestige, fashion, prosperity, modernity, and excellent means of entertainment of those countries.
Many European countries including Italy, Spain, France, Britain come in the top ten positions on this list. Here are the top three European countries of this category listed below.
Italy
Due to its well-known designer brands such as Valentino, Armani, Versace, and Gucci, Italy has achieved a total of 10 in being fashionable and trendy. This does not surprise people like Lucio Buffalo. He himself is the founder of the blog ‘The Power Moves.com’ and belongs to the Abruzzas in Rome. He believes, “It is commonly said that the people of Italy pay great attention to what will suit them and what does not. They try to decide what is fashionable.” Everything related to style, from food to furniture, is strongly influenced by Italy”.
It is obvious that the food in this country also has a different effect. The Romans never miss out on eating out. Here you can taste both the traditional flavors and the modernity that is embedded in them. For example, the provincial territory’s Puerto restaurant serves traditional cacio Pepe (pasta, with Roman pecorino and pepper seasonings) as seafood. And it may sound strange, but the combination of cheese and seafood is delicious. Another interesting cultural place in Italy is Bologna which is quite famous for its nutritious food. Milan is also a favorite city and it is the country’s largest stronghold in terms of trade and fashion. There are many good restaurants here too.
France
France is the country with the highest standards of modernity, prestige, and fashion. Everyone tries to imitate these specialties of France. We were told by Paris resident Reuben Fils that he had no idea of how famous his culture was until he traveled to the Middle East and Asia. People living in backward areas are also heavily inspired by French cuisine, French art, French fashion. I met many people in Iran who told me how much they like ‘Molière’. I was surprised to know that even in Iran people know ‘Molière’. ” However, Paris is the place where French culture can be experienced everywhere from fashion to food.
After Paris, many other french cities has the most historic buildings. Lyon is the third most crowded city in France. It is famous for its cooking. The city has also given many three-star Michelin chefs. At the same time, Toulouse is an interesting city that has a glorious history of more than 2,000 years old. It is also known as ‘La Ville Rose’. The French take great pride in their identity. Its identity has given a new face to the world. The French language is also included in it which is quite difficult for people from outside.
Spain
Spain, once the empire of the world’s biggest conquerors, has left an indelible mark from South America to South and Southeast Asia. After Chinese, Spanish is the most spoken language in the world. Spanish native speakers, their films, TV, music, etc. have a big contribution to this. One gets to see some imprint of the country through many things ranging from the Spanish language to religion, food, festivals, and many more. Spain’s food is famous all over the world. André Arias, who lives in Barcelona and founder of the website called ‘Barcelona Eat Local Culinary Experience’, says, “Spanish people are fond of food. Food for them means eating together. Whether they are friends or strangers. Interacting with everyone is the specialty of this country. Here people prefer to spend time with family and friends more than work.
