1) A person that was either brought up in Italy or was born from parents that came from said country. Usually Italians are depicted as lazy, greasy tanned people that move around on Vespa Scooters in American movies but this trend was inspired by the habits of the first communities of Italian immigrants that established in the states between the last half of the 1800's and the first half of the 19000's, when people who left their home country were usually poor: iln fact, they either come from Southern Italy, where people at that time, usually sported typically Mediterranean traits, or from an agricultural background in Northern Italy, which meant that they used to farm the land under direct sunlight, which caused their skin to get tanned (and that's where the tendency of thinking they are not white most Americans have came from).
Italians are on average very different in culture and habits compared to their Italo-American counterparts that are third-plus generation immigrants and their outer appearance is not always Mediterranean ( because people from Northern Italy, more similar to the rest of Central Europeans in regard of their looks, started having more contacts with Southern Italians after the main highway of the At was built).
Italians are tendentially associated with exquisite cuisine, Mafia, laughable politicians, bad traffic, good looks, fine shoes and fashion, cool cars and marvellous art and extremely hot people.
2) Language spoken in Italy/ by Italian people.

1) "Jeez! I'm impressed by how American and British cities are packed with Italians: that's really impressive man!" "Good for us man! That means there's plenty of hot Italian chicks to hit on!"
2) "Hey, mi sapresti dire dov'è la fermata dell'autobus piú vicuna?"
"Her... Sorry dude, I don't speak Italian".

A amazing country where the people range from dark to light naturally due to history. With brown hair and eyes being like chestnut or dark brown the most common. A very artsy stunning beautiful country. I'm half italian/neapolitan and we're a very proud people. Morally sound for over 90 percent of population. Mafias do exist but its more about politics, extortion, control and occasional wars/murders. The misconception that mafia is what you have to watch out for in italy is wrong. Pickpockets and tourist scams are the biggest thing you'll run into even in southern italy. Theft even here in canada is common. Italy's food is fantastic and and art form. Hear the modern music as well even if it's from street culture it's still one step above(Ultimo). And yes many great operas, art and many geniuses throughout its history. As well as gay people; italians are more open about sexuality. While sharing common traits with Arab cultures it is more western. And greece that gave those cultures similarities. Keep educating yourself about the world you live in. Ciao a tutti personi.

Southern Europeans who talk with their hands and tend too have brown hair and eyes/ white skin sometimes tanned. Some of them can be blond like Georgia Meloni (current president of Italy) or Ciro immobile (striker on Italy's soccer team plays for Lazio.) Stupid North Americans believe Italians must look one way but their wrong. Also these people make fantastic food art, cars, wine and many other quality products. including cheese's, meats and pizza. Sometimes Italians get a bad rap due too Italy's corruption, mafia gangsters or fascism in ww2. Also beautiful country in Mediterranean and friendly people.

A European ethnicity that is distinctly Mediterranean and therefore carries a phenotype similar to people from Spain, Greece, the Middle East, and northern Africa. This means that Italians can blend in a lot of places. Oddly enough, I noticed that many Italians have one eyebrow straighter (on the left) while the other is curved and sits lower down (on the right). Italians are generally considered attractive, although it is easy for us to get ugly with our hairy tendencies. People are usually on the short side (women 5'2"-5'6", men 5'8"-6'0"), although they were much shorter during the Roman times. According to a tour guide at the Flavian Ampitheater at Pozzuoli, a 5'5" man would be considered very tall and gladiator material. Northern and southern Italians tend to have distinctly different norms of appearance. Lighter skin, eyes, and hair are common in the north (think auburn hair with hazel eyes). Black hair, dark brown (or blue!) eyes, and midtone olive skin are common for the south. Southerners are generally shorter than their fellow northern countrymen. More on the Mediterranean people: search for "gracile mediterranid" for anthropological concepts specific to Italy.
Personality, behavior, and levels of maturity are relevant only on an individual basis and are separate from ethnicity.
Italians at first glance are commonly mistaken for:
•Iranians (especially in California)
•Greeks
•Armenians
•Hispanics

Your coworker who bears an uncanny resemblance to someone of Italian descent, but refuses to admit his true identity as an Italian. He also uses Italian catchphrases such as, “oui oui sauce”.

While in the 69 position (woman on top) you are fingering her asshole. At some point during the interlude she unknowingly dropps a small turd about the size of a milkdud candy in your mouth when you remove your finger from her asshole. This could work for any nationality, however, when it happened to me, she was of Italian heritage. Hence the Italian in the "italian milkdud"
To truly execute this in its purist form, your reaction when the milkdud hits your mouth, is to remove it , and toss it across the room, preferably hitting the wall. Immediately following this action, you reinsert your finger into her asshole and get back to eating the snatch as if nothing had ever happened.
