In an alternate universe the EU just uncucked itself and decided to print faces onto the Euro notes, each country deciding on its famous peoples without forced gender quotas in an objective great person ranking from 5 to 500.
e.g: UK
500: Newton
200: Shakespeare
100: Victoria
50: Hume
20: Locke
10: Nelson
5: Lizzy
Fill in your yuro cunts notes, regardless of EU membership status.
New worlders need not apply, you only print presidents or the queen.

But we already have faces.
I'd remove Starčević (1000 kuna) because he was an antisemitic racist and replace him with Ruđer Bošković (important for atomic theory) or Nikola Šubić Zrinski (killed Turks). Maybe add Tito for the lulz or Tesla just to make the Serbs mad.
We'd probably just put a bunch of Renaissance artists and musicians like we did with the Liras. Maybe a couple of explorers or scientists, too.
I'll try to make a believable lists (no dictators or edgy people like Mussolini or Evola) of who our government would put on it:
500 - Michelangelo
200 - Alessandro Manzoni (we already got Dante on the 2€ coin)
100 - Giuseppe Verdi
50 - Cristopher Columbus
20 - Galileo Galilei
10 - Leonardo da Vinci
5 - Enrico Fermi
No political figures (literally every single one would be controversial for someone in Italy) nor patriots, since even the Unification of Italy is still an hot topic to this day.
Picrelated is the last series of Liras coined by the National Bank. On older series, we even used to have ancient Roman deities for some reason.

500000 wow so weak, still have coins of 100 lira and when I was kid I thought I am rich and pare ts laughed at me
Why the FUCK do you have €500 banknotes?

Get it together you continental mongs
Not like we'll get accepted in the EU or that we have our own history but here we go.
500: Alexander

200: Cyrillus and Methodious

Buying a couple articles of clothing at a trendy european store costs way more than 500 euros.

>Buying a couple articles of clothing at a trendy european store costs way more than 500 euros.
This is NOT an excuse. Say you feel like splurging on expensive designer clothes. WHY would you carry that kind of money in cash? A few €500 notes means you're carrying literally thousands of Euros, in cash, for no fucking reason.
WHY?
The only thing I can think of is that you don't trust the banks and want to save money under your mattress. But even then,
1. €100 notes are perfectly adequate for that purpose
2. if your banks can't be trusted with your cash then your country shouldn't be inside the bloody Eurozone should it???
FUCK I'm mad as hell about this

Our politicians in the 80s used to finance debt by constantly devaluing and printing new Liras as externals bought debt bonds.

Why not Machiavelli?

Excellent choice

We had already one with Machiavelli.
Also he's not that much known or revered in Italy. The other people I listed are more reknown.
