Italians make great food have great family relationships (better then most English and Americans) nothing is more important then there family. Italy is a cultured country you can't judge Italians by what the American-Italians are like trust me i am Italian although i live in England ive been bought up in a more Italian way

Italian is a beautiful language and should be taught in more schools. I hope I am not missing anything in the pronunciation.

A person from Italy or from Italian decent; sometimes speaks Italian or has family memebers who speak it(Or spoke it if they're dead) They are NOT ANYTHING like the Guidos who are "Italian". The image these fake American Guidos are making Italians as a whole look like the American snobby "Guidos". In fact, thinking this about the Italian culture, is a steryotype
