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.
