With lots of Allies backing them up in both of those conflicts and considering the time past until now, yes they may have a similar sense of bravery and brutality as back then or maybe not due to the presence of all these problems with cohesion that quite frankly is a growing problem along with recruitment difficulties
Can you explain why Italy matters, especially pertaining to China? All I'm seeing is a rapidly aging western european country who is overflowing with migrants. Italy's political system is a mess, its GDP has stagnated for the past 20 years and it is not competitive on the world stage except in fashion.
It is a country with a GDP of 2 trillion USD. That is some substantial trade potential there. Any cooperation is good for both sides unless there is exploitation and Italy is rather more significant than an average country. The mentality that only US and China matter is wrong.

Italy monthly exports comparable to Japan. some of Italian exports will be integrated into other European products so not visible to outside world. Any one using Safran or GE products most likely will have Italian content. you may also want look into pharmaceuticals and research publications. it has Italians names. i meant Italian in Italy. not the Italian origin people in France or US that a very substantial number. The real uncompetitive people are the North Europeans who constantly need talent from outside. recently i read that 50% of Nokia hires were non Finn in Finland and this there standard industry.
