Yes and no. Depending on the category you are comparing. The standard of living is higher in Italy and the historical significance of Italy in the art world is unparalleled. When looking at potential for economic growth, Poland has natural resources, a growing economy, less corruption and tax evasion. Because of its low labor costs Poland is expected to grow at a faster pace than Italy in the coming years.
The downside for Poland is their cuisine--the Italians have the best, along with the French. (This is entirely an opinion)!

Was Poland destroyed in World War 2?
Yes! Poland was invaded by 2, at the time, strongest armies. And they fought for 1 month, which is very impressive. France was beaten in less than a month, by Germany alone. Besides, France had UK, and the Low countries to fight together with them, while Poland was all alone, against USSR and Germany.
Was Poland fighting against Germany?
Poland's plans of defense were much like those for most of Europe, they had their forward units posted to the boarders with Germany. These units were to delay the Germans long enough for mobilization of the second and third echelon units to finish and allow for Poland to push back against Germany. This was tied in with the anticipation of aid from both France and Great Britain. The Allied generals all expected a repeat of WWI, in that the war would consist of leg infantry moving at that pace. The German form of warfare, commonly called Blitzkrieg disrupted the forward Polish defenses. In addition, the Luftwaffe destroyed the Polish air force on the ground, so there was no way for it to interdict the Luftwaffe as they began disrupting the Polish mobilization efforts. Individually, the Polish fought well, and if I remember correctly they even once had a cavalry charge against the Panzers. So there courage was never in question, they suffered as would Belgium and France from outdated modes of thinking
AnswerI agree with Jerry but one additional point. Poland was also worried about Russia, coming from the opposite direction, and could never concentrate their forces on one front. Russia and Germany had a history of cooperation together at this time, until Hitler attacked Russia. The Polish soldiers who fled to Russia from the Wermacht, when Poland was finaly overran, where immediately interned in POW Camps and the Russians committed numerous atrocities on the Polish Officer Corps(Killing numerous Officers). Interesting, when Hitler invaded, the Russians couldn't get the Poles out of the concentration camps and arm them fast enough. Even forming a all Polish Unit with surviving Officers. AnswerPoland left almost no troops facing Russia. The Russian-German agreement to partition Poland was not known, and all but a few forces were facing the Germans.However Polish mobilisation was still happening whenGermany invaded....units weer still in barracks or moving from them to positions, some units were caught still on trains, some soldiers were not with their units. Also the Polish army was deployed forward and the Germans were among them very quickly.

Why did the Germans hate the Polish in World War 2?
Answer 1
Germans didn't 'hate' Poles. They had an international territorial dispute over Danzig which was resolved by war. Generalisations about 65 million German people based on the opinions, actions and propaganda of a few score thousand political activists and powerbrokers are not valid. We should not tar the majority of people with the brush of a minority.
Answer 2
German (Nazi) hatred for Poles was not distinct from their hatred of Slavs in general. The Slavs were considered a "non-Aryan" people. Unlike Jews and Romani, they were not subhuman, but they were "less human" than Germans. Additionally, many Poles were either nationalistic and/or helped the Jews avoid the ghettos and concentration camp. In both ways, they opposed the Nazi agenda in Poland are were thus hated.
