They've seen each other naked often, share a bed, and in one strip, Italy bursts into Germany's shower to ask him if he "likes" him and demands that Germany tell him he loves him. When Germany does, he shouts, "Yahoo! I love you too! Italy's reaction? I got closer to Germany!

In response to another fan suggesting their lack of will to stand near him because of his overbearing scent, he stated that he only wore a little perfume. He has referenced his old age several times, saying things like how his waist is always creaking, his back hurts, and that he had to surrender to sleep early in the day.

Despite this, he gets upset when said that he is a grandpa as opposed to a big brother, and claims he is still young. France is seen outside Austria's window, ranting about how much he desires him, and talking about how good looking and talented Austria is. In the Christmas Rampage strips, he also tricks Austria into stripping down in order to get Hungary a hat, yet this may have only been to make Prussia feel better.

Despite both being members of the Allied forces, England and France have a deep-rooted historical rivalry between them. While they can be seen to constantly argue with each other over the littlest things like language and culture , they appear to have a level of respect for each other and are quick to team up with each other if a third party should enter the argument.

France even tried to marry England to save his country once, though neither of them really wanted it. In strips focusing on England's childhood, he is often shown being picked on by a preteen France, who, on one occasion, scoffs at him for not growing his hair long - and when England's long hair turns out a mess, France teases him by saying he will cut it into a "cool" style - by cutting it back to the style he had before. In Crossing Through the Year , the two younger countries are fooled into believing that the world will soon be over, and England agrees to let France pretend to have conquered him, since it is only for a little while.

They later reminisce about their childhood when Japan makes the same mistake. In the movie Hetalia: Axis Powers: Paint it, White , they said that "they have an undesirable relationship, but indestructible in their heart; they get along very well". The state of their relationship depends on the specified time period however, generally, like England, Germany and France have a history of being one another's enemies, and as such the two do not seem to get along.

In Let's Think About The G8 members , when Germany suggested France be removed from the group, he argued that they had been actually getting along well recently. In Kusogame , the two and America went to a maid cafe in Japan together. Both are set in the present day. During his April Fools sitejacking, he seemed to know a fair amount about him, especially that he, like Italy, often ran around naked, thus he needed a different idea of what to do to him as he had been stripping the others in the end he forced him into a maid cosplay and cat ears.

Monaco acts as a younger sister to France and is solely dependent on him for economic and diplomatic strength, as well as intervention in other affairs. Due to this, Monaco often accepts his various requests. France grew up with a small Chibitalia, but after Chibitalia returned from spending time with Roman Empire, France only wanted to control him. Italy refers to France as "France nii-chan" in strips set in both the past and present.

Once Italy had grown into a teenager, he visited France again, resulting in the older man suddenly becoming enthusiastically attracted to him. During the visit, Italy saw the word "intercourse" in a book and asked him what the definition was. France replied by saying that intercourse is something you do with someone you like, then proceeded to ask "So Italy, do you like me? France seems to have a soft spot for Italy, becoming frantic when England suggests they spread rumors about Italy and responding with "I know he's kind of dumb, and he's weak and useless, but he's not a bad guy This caused Spain to have a nightmare where an adult South Italy jumped on him and "crushed his vital regions".

South Italy is first shown briefly in the Chibitalia segment of Episode 01 as a small child, and makes further non-speaking cameos in Episode 02 where the brothers are bullied by the other nations and Episode 04 being stepped on by a victorious Austria.

Big Brother! His childhood is further detailed in Episodes 60 - 62 , 67 , 68, and Episode 75 - 77 which adapt Boss Spain's Control of Southern Italy.

This shows the time from when Spain firsts acquires South Italy to where he begins fighting France and Turkey for him. He is voiced by Daisuke Namikawa , who also voices Italy. Namikawa also initially voiced the child version of South Italy in the first episode, but the role was later recast for Hetalia: ' World Series' , with Aki Kanada providing the voice as she did for his brother. In the anime adaptation much like the later colored manga artwork , South Italy is given lighter skin, rather than being olive-skinned.

Though he is depicted as wearing his pants over a short pair of boots in a character sketch for the manga, his anime turnaround instead shows him to have his pants tucked into a pair of tall boots that look much like his brother's. His first military uniform is also colored khaki, with the shirt being maroon and the tie being navy. Though the exact inspiration behind his human name remains unknown, Lovino is not a given name in Italian, instead used as a surname; in Italian, it simply translates to "the wine".

However, it may be a masculinized form of "Lovina" which comes from the name "Lavinia" which was the name of the legendary mother of the Roman people.

Vargas is a common Spanish surname but in this case it is believed to have come from the artist Alberto Vargas. Alternatively, Rovino exists as an Italian word, and derives from a tense of the word "rovinare", which means to "collapse" or to "wreck", thus the name literally means "I ruin", the same is for 'Romano' since there is a type of cheese through the same name.
