italian
What's true/what's false about us:
1. Italians have at least 5 children
2. Italian-Americans are like Italian
3. Family ties are important. We are crazy about Italian food (pizza, pasta, tiramisù, gelato and all the rest)
4. Spaghetti with meatballs is an Italian dish.
Answers
1. Totally false. The avarage is like 1 child (MAX. 2). we have one of the lowest growth birth on earth.
2. False!! We perceive them as sort of 'strangers', mixed up cretures that just speak two or three Italian words (or worse an old local southern dialect!!!) and do not have any idea of what Italy has become.
3. That's true. :)))
4. Whaaaaaat???? this is really offensive. I've never seen anything like that in Italy in 30 years. When I first saw that dish in the USA I almost puked. And also the ZITI: they are used in southern Italy (and I didn't know they existed till I saw them in the USA). The most common type of pasta is penne or spaghetti.
Anyway... the idea you have from Italy abroad derives mostly from southern Italian people, or what they were like 40 years ago (as you probably know there is a huge difference between southrn and northern Italy). Mafia does not exist in central and northern Italy, I know about it as much as an avarage American does.

Get the Italianmug. Italianization, or Italianisation, is a geopolitical term used to describe the process of fragmentation or division of a region or state into smaller regions or states that are often hostile or uncooperative with one another.
Oh fuck, it's the Italianization of the United States again!

Get the Italianizationmug. When an attempt to quote Italians is imprecise, and Erica assures you that your quote does not meet the standards for italian translation.

Get the Italiansmug. An Italian is a person who was born in Italy or has Italian descents. They are known for having amazing food (its true) like pizza, spaghetti and meatballs e.t.c...
An Italian is: very family orientated; loud ; sometimes impatient; some of the kindest and funniest people you ever meet (if you get close enough to them); good looking; strong; independent and much more.
Despite all that, Italians can sometimes become kind of aggressive once on their bad side. If you mess with them you better pray to god you will be fine. I’m not saying that all Italians are aggressive but some can be.
Italian girls love to rock their curves and their thick, dark, curly hair. Although this may just seem like it is just a stereotype but they love red and black clothes.
Italian boys on the other side are often wearing a loose top ,sometimes a blouse and most of the time wear some baggy jeans, trousers or baggy shorts.
In general, Italians are lovely people with a great fashion sense with a culture deriving from Latin therefire making them Latino. If you ever meet an Italian, don’t take them for granted!

Two men walking diwb the street spotting an Italian girl.
Man 1- “hey bro. See that chick walking on the opposite side of the road. She’s smoking!
Man 2- “ No wonder man. She clearly an Italian girl. I mean, look at those curves; and she rocking that red and black dress.

Get the Italianmug. A great, beautiful country with great people and great food. The Italians are often looked down upon by wankers such as archi and other ignorant bastards that think they are better than the ities even though they probably eat italian food on a daily basis like most people in the world. The Italians are often looked down upon by their involvement with the axis in the second world war but most people seem to ignore the fact that during Mussolini's dictatorship and friendship with Hitler, there was a group of proud Italian civilians and military deserters that fought heavily against fascist groups. In fact you could say that whilst the British Americans and Russians were fighting in Germany, the Italians were fighting their own civil war on their own turf against a wrong reigime. Italy is a great country but full of social problems. Some members of the government are part of fascist parties or involved with Italian organised crime. There is a very strong 'divario' in Italy with the constant fight between communists, fascists/nazi supporters, anarchists and pacifists.
Italy, although a beautiful and very well known country with maybe the hottest girls on the planet, is still very poor and is considered to be a european 'third world country' with a government that very recently failed.
Oh and another thing, if you ever go to Italy or meet an Italian, don't piss them off beacause they are a very proud nation with very strong feelings for their nationality. I know this very well seeing as I am an Itie myself
