Parts of Italy were influenced very differently by different nations and went on different routes. Northern trade powerhouses like Venice or Genoa had very different history to south which was attacked and conquered by muslims, Byzantines then part of Spain etc. Germany wasnt unified, but parts of HRE were still independent and nowhere near as influenced as some parts of Italy were.
