Ideology of commonality between Mediterranean cultures
The Pantheon, a surviving architecture of the Roman Empire, and a symbol of its civilization.
Mediterraneanism is an ideology that claims that there are distinctive characteristics that Mediterranean cultures have in common.[1]
Giuseppe Sergi asserted that the Mediterranean race was "the greatest race...derived neither from the black nor white people...an autonomous stock in the human family."[2]: 24–27 Italian Fascism initially adhered strongly to a similar version of Mediterraneanism that claimed a bond existed between all Mediterranean cultures and Mediterranean peoples, often placing Mediterranean people and cultures above other cultures. This form of Mediterraneanism was in stark contrast to and was partially a reaction to the then-popular Nordicist racial theory common in North America and Northwestern, Central, Germanic-speaking, and Northern Europe that claimed Mediterranean people were inferior to the supposed Nordic race.
