The Italian Emotion is a phenomenon experienced when life sends hard times your way. It is made up of Fury, Sadness, Melancholy, and Total Determination. It is often experienced after something entirely awful happens. Depending on the circumstances, the amount of each emotion varies.
My girlfriend broke up with me after we had been going out for a year, then had the balls to tell me to my face that she and another guy had been in each others pants 2 days after the break up! Then the Italian Emotion kicked in, and I broke the other guys face apart with my brass knuckles!

It's a nice country plagued by many problems - economical, social, cultural. Ruined by Berlusconi's trashy TV since the 80s and by submission to the Vatican powers and the Catholic taboos.
Many foreigners think they know a lot about Italy, but they just rely on old and hollow stereotypes. Italy is a complex reality: for example, you can't compare Milan to Rome or Naples. A person from Milan generally finds people from the South too intrusive, while the Southerns finds people from the North too cold. Their attitude to life is different. North is quite wealthy, South is poor.
Accents differ much. In the mountain region called Alto Adige German is also spoken.
Myths to be disproved:
- mafia and camorra are only in the South. For most of Italians, they exist only in the news. Italians are not violent
- Italians are not so generous, in fact they are individualistic people (which is a problem, since they don't care about the public thing and make their country go to ruin)
- you won't find in the restaurants spaghetti with meatballs, pizza with pineapple, "fettuccine Alfredo" or "olive garden", these are Italo-american specialties
- Italians do work: office hours are 9 to 6. Children go to school also on Saturday, making it possible to have longer summer holidays
- Berlusconi is a criminal, a liar and a pig and does NOT really represent the majority of Italians. Many are ashamed of him and his governement
