0 We don't really use words like 01i00patriot 02i00and 01i00patriotism02i00, unless we are talking about the second half of the 19th century, when some wars wars which led to the unification of Italy were fought.02br
00What's more, these words01i00 02i00seem to have gained a slightly negative connotation. 0-

0 In my country you usually see the word patriot in history books, when talking about world wars or old political subjects. Otherwise, you can see patriots in movies. 0-
