the EU idea isn't to make us all the same: outside europe union people seems to see us more european than what we see us.
Every european country have very deep cultural differences, and we are usually very proud of our specificity and uniqueness, and we try to celebrate our differences.
The main issue in europe isn't social or cultural, the main issue is that the european union is all about finance and the strict rules of the euro as money, and that can work only if all country in europe share also politic, fiscal system and so on.
Sadly this isn't the case, in europe we share the same finance and valute, but we have all different fiscality, different politics, different systems for too many things, and this of course can only make different european govs fight each other to gain advantages over others.
The inequity of this then cause hates, and well, when in europe there is hate, our history should warn us to what can happen... but sadly living here it seems that history is slowing repeating itself.
I think in the long term europe will have a bride future as a federation of states, something like an "united states of europe", but before to come to that we will have to pass inside a very bad time of crisis if not even war, and italy will be probably one of the first country to collapse.
This is one of the reasons why i and my family will move away from italy soon, not for me, i can live relatively well in italy right now, i have all what i need and no big issues, but i'm really scared for my kids and i don't want to leave them grow up here.
