In this work we apply techniques and modus operandi typical of StatisticalMechanics to a large dataset about key social quantifiers and compare theresulting behaviours of five European nations, namely France, Germany, Italy,Spain and Switzerland. The social quantifiers considered are $i.$ the evolutionof the number of autochthonous marriages (i.e. between two natives) within agiven territorial district and $ii.$ the evolution of the number of mixedmarriages (i.e. between a native and an immigrant) within a given territorialdistrict. Our investigations are twofold. From a theoretical perspective, wedevelop novel techniques, complementary to classical methods (e.g. historicalseries and logistic regression), in order to detect possible collectivefeatures underlying the empirical behaviours; from an experimental perspective,we evidence a clear outline for the evolution of the social quantifiersconsidered. The comparison between experimental results and theoreticalpredictions is excellent and allows speculating that France, Italy and Spaindisplay a certain degree of {\em internal heterogeneity}, that is not found inGermany and Switzerland; such heterogeneity, quite mild in France and in Spain,is not negligible in Italy and highlights quantitative differences in thecustoms of Northern and Southern regions. These findings may suggest thepersistence of two culturally distinct communities, long-term lasting heritagesof different and well-established cultures.
