We are loud indeed. But it's kinda strange that Americans think we're loud, as we Italians are often shocked about how Americans are even louder than us.
@@Vanessa-ys7sm nah. You guys are chaotic but we get that. It sounds louder cause we all speak and laugh at the same time but damn you can hear an American say EXCUSE ME from across a 4 lanes road lol
Do NOT go to Starbucks for your coffee! Boycott Starbucks in Italy! The best coffee is at a small local bar standing at the counter and should cost 1€ or less depending what region you are in. Also Cappuccino is drunk only at breakfast and espresso is pronounced with an S not X.
Er Zerker I’m 34 and I I’ve been drinking coffee since I was around 5 or 6. Coffee is very important in my culture and family. Starbucks tastes like burnt coffee that has been sitting at the bottom of the pot for about 3 days. It has no distinct flavor other than burnt, it’s bitter and you pay an exorbitant amount of money for a small serving of coffee on top of the extreme amounts of sugar if you order anything other than just a plain cup of coffee. Never mind the horrible impact this company has on small local coffee shops and coffee plantations.
i like foreigners' videos about my country, but you sir are the most polite, smart and enthusiastic I've ever seen. Clear talk, reasoned thoughts, cheerful personality. Best channel I've seen talking about Italy so far, I'll recommend you for sure!
Wolters World yes i confirm, with Rick Steves. Many foreigners travellers are rude , ignorant and without respect. You have the right and correct attitude !!
Decisamente, non è che se vedi due posti a Milano che li fanno sono di lí, sono pugliesi (di Bari) e soprattutto non sono da confondere, cosa che capita spesso, con i pitoni, che sono una specie di panzerotto più lungo (scarola, tuma, acciughe, e pomodorini) di Messina
@@giuncogg6002 I panzerotti di Luini sono un'istituzione a Milano. Sono aperti da veramente tanti anni, guadagnandosi l'Ambrigino d'oro nel 1988. I miei genitori andavano da Luini quando uscivano da scuola (45 anni fa!). Parlano di Luini perfino in Giappone! Quindi si, se passate a Milano prendete un panzerotto da Luini (che è di fianco al Duomo quindi panzerotto con vista) Comunque la pizza la mangio ovunque e non devo per forza andare a Napoli per mangiarla buona. Relegare un piatto ad un luogo è da idioti.
@@michellethomas9848 Napoli needs to be lived, not visited. If you judge this city by what you said, no offense, but you didn't understand anything about it.
Other two good things: 1 - no tips in restaurants or anywhere else 2 - your damn Alfredo sauce doesn't exist in Italy, we don't know what it is and we are happy about that!
Non dovremmo andarne orgogliosi del fatto di non lasciare la mancia, anzi è una cosa di cui vergognarsi. L'industria dell'hospitality in Italia è schiavitù pura in cui il lavoratore è tra il datore di lavoro costretto a pagarlo poco per via dei costi, e i clienti che vogliono essere serviti e riveriti pagando il meno possibile.
Ive noticed that Campania is probably the best place for this comment to be true... And maybe Puglia. Certainly not Sicilia.... that Omerta plague has restrained being freindly to complete strangers for a century or more..
+Erminio Spampagnati Dato che sei tanto acculturato, prima di correggere un americano e fare una bella figura di merda, potevi almeno aprire Google e constatare con i tuoi occhi che fortunate è corretto almeno quanto lucky, se non di più (è leggermente più formale).

We are both loud, but in different ways. The Americans seem sometimes a bit vulgar in their accents and manners, and they are loud in my opinion, compared to other English speakers. I had a few weird experiences with American people, but I also had a few good ones. It's difficult to generalize. In Italy is different, but we are usually pretty loud. I can definitely admit that I am, even if I have been living abroad for years. But if you go from Bologna, which is a very loud city, to let's say Naples, I am sure you will appreciate the different types of loudness too. Again, it's hard to speak of a generic linguistic trait for an entire country. Generalizations are usually quite helpful, but they are mainly parcial views of much more complex realities. Languages and cultures are complex subjects, my friend! Have a good one ✌️
ALl four of my grandparents came from Southern Italy -Naples and Sicily. When I made my first trip their 8 years ago...I cried when the plane landed. I was overcome with emotion that I was able to come back to their home country. I love the United States but Italy also felt like home. Been back 2 more times. I got to visit the two Sicilian villages where my grandparents were born....I cried again. My wife and I love it there and she’s not Italian!
Sam -_- Maybe. But at least Italy won four world cups im football. Churchill's team only one. By the way, Churchill also called Indians "monkees", so I fear we shouldn't take him too seriously...
What I was shocked at was the kindness one unknown young lady showed to me to find the correct bus stop. She didn’t speak English but she got off the bus to to take me to the correct bus stop. I think the grandmas have passed it on to next generation.
What I love most about Italia? Their respect and their dedication to their cultural heritage. I mean look how Italians Love and preserve their culture, architecture, arts. It shows in every aspect of their lives.
Yeah we've got really much culture, but there are too many stupid and ignorant people in Italy... And that's why we escape to the rest of the world... I'm really sorry about that but it's the truth. Recently many people became neo-fascists in Italy, I mean.. Shit how can you do that in 2020?! I'm proud about being Italian, but now I live in Germany because it became a shit, and that makes me sad :( Saluti dalla Germania!!
@@liviacotto7647 io non saprei, voglio dire, penso che lo stato cerchi di proteggere i patrimoni storici e culturali per il turismo ma non ci sono tante persone italiane che apprezzano il proprio Paese dato tutto il vandalismo e menefreghismo, specialmente tra i giovani (ho 20 anni e ho vissuto in Italia per 16 anni, per contesto).
“Primi piatti is pasta, secondi piatti is meat” ... okay but primi piatti is also risotti, soups, ravioli, lasagne, etc etc... and secondi piatti is also fish, plus now you find almost everywhere vegetarian options (in the north) Ps. Trains like Frecciarossa are on time, yes. Everything else IS NOT.
I come from the south and my wife is american and vegetarian, she usually does not need even to ask for vegetarian options as the southerner cousine is rich with vegetable based dishes (pastas and second dishes).
2:02 "but the trains are on time" i'm just laughing my ass off, i'm waiting for a train that should've been here 40 mins ago, but nope. i just love trenitalia. yep.
ok, anche io ci sono andato spesso, ma il treno molto spesso faceva ritardo di 5-10 minuti, che comunque male che andasse ero comunque in orario per l'entrata a scuola,, in altri paesi spaccano sempre il minuto è che qui come dice anche lui 5-10 minuti non sono nulla alla fine, abbiamo un concetto di "in orario" un pò diverso dagli altri paesi.
My friend I’m Italian and you did a fantastic job representing our country🇮🇹🙏🏽 I‘ve been in the US (Milwaukee) and also the US people are very friendly and ready to help you❤️ Love from Italy🇮🇹🤝🇺🇸
I am italian and i have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for stopping this trend of thinking we eat spaghetti and meatballs together. That is disgusting and the truth needs to get out there hahahaha. Just a little remark: it's nonna with a double "n". Nona with one n only would literally mean -ninth-.
+Ruisi David io sono stato sia a Bergamo che a Napoli ma non li ho mai mangiati, ci sono cose simili ma i veri e propri spaghetti con meatballs non li ho mai visti. cmq sul menù che nome hanno? magari mi faccio un'idea
Il Cole Veramente a me è sembrato che per essere giusto un turista americano sapesse molte cose.. più di qualche italiano.. e per la pronuncia guarda che non è facile l'italiano per loro.. vorrei sentire te in inglese visto come giudichi facilmente
I live in bosnia, we are also pretty loud and chatty, when tourists come here you can spot americans with how loud they are. Italians blend nicely with us, you are not extra loud and definitely not as loud as Americans.
I was in Italy several times and found it impossible not to have a good time or heavenly meal. What really shocked me was all the buildings, cathedrals, bridges, piazze, homes, town halls, built centuries ago and still in perfect condition. Two world wars couldn't knock them down. Shows that when people have pride and values they take are of what they build. One correction: at 5:26, it's "nonnas" not "nonas".
That's also what I fascinates me: Europe suffered the most from the two biggest and most destructive wars in history, yet Europe still stands strong. After ww2 Europe was completely destroyed. Yet, less than 20 years later, Europe is once again an economic and military power. It's incredible how Europe survived ww1 and ww2, all the wars that happened in Europe, all the epidemics such as the black death, and so on. All of this, yet Europe is still here. EU is still among the richest in the world and among the most powerful. It seems that Europe went through the impossible, and came out of it as a winner. Also, it gives hope: if Europe has survived with success to the black death, ww1 and ww2, Europe will also survive with success to any other problem/crisis/war.
well its one of the most beautiful and amazing countries in the world! i have been traveling to toscana so many times and i cannot get enough... ciao :-)
@@NotASingleFuck The Italians think that Germany is paradise, that there are no problems, that everything works perfectly while in Italy nothing works, so if they saw a german who moved here they would think he's crazy. 😂 However, I love german culture and your language since I discovered Rammstein when I was a child. 🇮🇹🇩🇪
can you explain the following: why do cars in Napoli always honk when they pass by you walking on the sidewalk? everytime I go back I need a couple of hours to get use to it and not jump (and almost land in dog poo) 😅
@@rachel40045 cappuccino is only for breakfast, later in the day you'll never see an italian drinking cappuccino. We prefer espresso (or at least macchiato) during the rest of the day. I saw a resturant owner who refused to bring cappuccino at dinner to a tourist couple, even the coffee+milk couse he believed they'd mix them together
Blasphemy is culturally rooted in many Italians. Also, the Italian state was openly against the roman Church for 50 years after the conquest of Rome in 1870.
Actually, speaking loud is quite subjective because depends on the type of family and from where they come from. Usually when i'm in a restaurant or walking outside, i don't hear that much noise from people, probably just a group. It is more likely that there is more noise in a restaurant and sometimes it's a problem for me because i'm not a guy that does speak loud so if there is noise it's pretty hard to have a conversation. But as i said, is subjective to the type of people/family.
After patronizing a local restaurant a few times, we were treated differently. The restaurant was partitioned into two areas: front of the house for tourists and back room for locals. After eating there two times, we were escorted into the "family" area on our third visit and treated like relatives!
Rozamunduszek Americans are loud but Italians are loud but scousers are louder. Also countries like Italy and Spain are just as loud if not louder than Americans.
These 10 things impress me a lot. I think I'm falling in love with Italy more and more. So proud that my major is Italian. I will surely visit Italy someday.
It's true that everything is relative: when I've been to the US I thought "americans are the loudest people in the world". Actually I think americans are much louder than Italians. American tourists here in Venice are shouting all the time.
I am American and coming to Venice at Christmas. I am worried about the language barrier. I only speak English. Can someone please advise if many people in Venice speak English? I’m traveling alone and promise to be quiet! Lol
@@deniserankin2967 Not everyone speaks English, but Venice is quite international and you are going to be fine. Restaurants, hotels, museums, most shops have English speaking staff.
The Italians KNOW how to live. Whilst it is perceived that they are noisy, they are animated, passionate people and this is reflected in the fact that they have more UNESCO World Heritage sites than the rest of Europe. I mean, the art, the history is passion. Being in Italy is PEACEFUL. Yes, animated, but no loud and aggressive noises. I love Italy, been going there for 50 years and it does help if one speaks Italian.
I'm italian, from Rome...I have to say that all the suggestions you gave are right and useful, especially for tourist coming in Italy for the first time! Good job, well done!
I’m bringing my fiancé to Italy to meet my family and he has been watching your videos like CRAZY! He is so excited and he feels less anxious now. Thank you for your videos!
there's a reason there is a formal Governmental santioned entity called VPN: Vera Pizza Napoletana.... it's actually been transplanted to the states with a good number of places gaining the recognition from Italian GOvernment (think of it as DOC for Pizza). The Settebello place here in Salt Lake CIty opened in 2007, and went so far as to have TWO Ovens built in Italy shipped and installed here. When I take n00bs there they are blown away.... I have a hard time teaching them not toge tthe pizza pre-cut... .you mus tear it apart manually and get olive oil all over you to be authentic :P
It depends, Frecciarossa/Frecciabianca/Frecciaargento are on time but more expensive, while 'regionali' are cheaper but come frequently with delay (from 5 to 90 minutes, it depends)

My Nanni is from the Calabrian region of Italy and has taught me so much about what it's like in Italy. She makes amazing food and tells stories of growing up in the rural farm region of Italy, she has also told me much about the dialect of the region and all the differences between "classy" Italian and "farmer" Italian. I love it so much and have always wished to experience the rural life of Italy.
I live in America but my grandfather came from Calabria, I think Altomonte and I am hoping I will find that I have the opportunity for dual citizenship...
I’m so happy hearing you speaking so well about my country!!! I really appreciated the enthusiasm you put into this video! And yes, we are loud,but at the end of the day you’ll come back to your country with a lot of friends and good memories !!
I'm Italian and I loved this video. Very often I ear bad stereotypes on us like we are lazy on work or stupid because we act loud. The truth is we like "enjoying life" (it's a thing) that it's not only duties or work. We take them seriously when it's their time, but in the other time... Why don't take it easy? That's one of the reasons why a lunch or a dinner it's not only a meal :)
Nice video and thanks for your kind words. But If I can correct anything I'd like to say the fact that in the South there aren't as many museums as in the North isn't so true. In the South there was the Greek colonization, apart from testimonies of native civilizations so you have towns just stuck in time, that means there are several cities that are open-air museums. Just to mention some: Roca Vecchia, Alberobello with the famous "trulli" (Apulia); Sassi di Matera (Basilicata); Valle dei Templi di Agrigento (Sicily) and the two Roman cities Herculaneum and Pompeii (Campania). For the museums: Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia (Calabria) with the most well preserved Greek statues found nowadays, the "Bronzi di Riace"; Museo archeologico nazionale di Napoli with the prestigious "Collezione Farnese", Museo nazionale di Capodimonte, Museo nazionale Ferroviario di Pietrarsa (Campania); Museo archeologico nazionale di Taranto and it's not a museum but a crime not to mention Castel del Monte (Apulia) founded by "Puer Apuliæ" alias "Stupor mundi" Federico II (the castle appears also on the Italian 1 cent € coin); Museo del papiro, Museo archeologico regionale Antonino Salinas (Sicily) etc. this without mentioning all the churches, every one with a treasure inside (literally in some) and all the archeological sites included the ones in the underground... Sorry this is only a little list, scusate se è poco 😉😁
Ti spiego: il parmesan che tanto si sente è una versione non originale del parmigiano reggiano (che appunto, può essere prodotto solo in italia). Come i pepperoni, il parmesan è un ingrediente a sé, altrimenti tutti direbbero parmigiano reggiano
Amazing video ❤️ I’m Italian and it’s so good to see that someone understands our culture instead of just saying “Italians are loud”. We are very kind people, chilled, relaxed and friendly 😊
its ironic for him to make that statement, since he apparently went no where near Naples.. THAT is where you[re gonna find the overly freindly people! LOL
In America are even more friendly though, everybody says "hi" or "Hey what's up" if you come across em in the stairs or in the elevator......in Italy most people would remain silent if they don't know You and if You try to initiate a small talk they would Think You're insane or You wanna rob em.
@@stopit1210 depends on the people. I've been in different places in Italy to visit relatives or friends, and their neighbors were kind to me as well, even though we never saw each other. But yes, i guess you're right, generally speaking. Probably in Italy people are more friendly when you get to know them better, but initially it's an uphill
@@stopit1210 In Italy this beaviour is perceived as weird and fake...we are less in casual relationship, we are polite but formal with people we don't know.

Correct. I’ll also add: polenta, lasagne, cuscus (in Sicily) and savoury pies. While fried wheat food like calzoni, croquettes, supplì or crostini, despite similar to “first dishes” are actually used as a starter or appetizer in pizzerie, and not as primi piatti.
You are Amazing, really. My eyes were wet and you know Italy very well because all of your comments, for being a tourist, are so appropriate. Compliments really.
I was in the US Navy from '87 to '91. After I finished Bootcamp and A-School I was stationed on a ship in Gaeta Italy. I absolutely love the country and the people. I also had much more of a culture shock when my ship visited places like Turkey, Isreal, and Egypt. Those places were even more foreign to me.
Italians are among st one of the friendliest people I ever met!! Grew up surrounded with Italians and other ethnicity. I remember always sharing food with them especially with my next door neighbor, hehe. Loud is just something normal for us Filipino's aswell!! Loud but very friendly and welcoming
Gatto Buono Bitter much? This is based on the experiences that I've had and of course I've met the ignorant, close-minded, foul-mouthed ones too. It's a matter how you want to speak on ethnic groups despite your judgement towards me. My experiences were based on how I treat, talk and think of them and just learn to put up with the others who think otherwise. I just happen to have more positive experiences than negative ones.
Ariela Quote: _"My experiences were based on how I treat, talk and think of them and just learn to put up with the others who think otherwise."_ So in other words, you choose to view the Italians through rose tinted glasses. Hardly an objective opinion is it? Ma dimmi un po', tu sei mai vissuta qua in Italia? Credo di no, vero?
Gatto Buono It's not rose tinted glasses you dumb fuck it's called personal experience she basically told us what her experience with Italians was and that she liked them why the fuck are you even arguing? Why don't you just do everyone a favor and fuck off
Good job, really. This is maybe the first video I see with no kind of prejudice. It's amazing, I can see you love My country. Only a mistake: we don't say "Nonas" but "nonne", this is the right therm. Xoxo from Rome!
@@rebeccahicks4949 A white person can hate all white people which makes him racist but if a white person hated one of the white ethnic groups like Italians for example it'd just be hating an ethnic group but not the race as a whole so it's not racist just hateful.

+der Führer when I was in Brussels an American said "we have a Starbucks on every corner" so I think it might be surprising for them. I never said it's a good thing that we have Starbucks or any franchise stores on every corner.
+Sassilovestheoc We also don't have KFC. Italy is th eonly pcuntry in the EU that doesn't have KFC, they had opened one in Roma like in the early 80s but it didn't go well so they closed and haven't open again since. Wendy's also opened in a few cities in the late 80's but then closed up. Only US restoration multinationals that operate in Italy are McDo and Burger King. No Starbucks and no Pizza Hut of course as we have excellent coffee and pizza habits so they would simply fail and shut down in a few months.
+Avion you obviously read my comment wrong or not at all. Like I said before I never said it's a bad thing, just that it would surprise some Americans.
I'm from Italy and spaghetti and meatballs is a dish used only in the small province of Teramo and surroundings. But is a dish used only at home and you'll never find it at restaurants. My grandma was from Teramo and used to prepare spaghetti and meatballs since I was a little child
+Diego De Luca Anyway probably the spaghetti and meatballs that your grandma used to prepare are plenty different from the american "Spaghetti and meatballs" concept, at least about the size of the meatballs or the type of meat.
+Eleonora Faccioli I've never tasted the US version of spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs we prepare @ my house are about 5 cm. of diameter and, just as example, they looks very similar to the ones that you can see at Lilli and the tramp. And, to be more precise, the original recipe isn't with simple spaghetti but with "spaghetti alla chitarra" (guitar spaghetti, too long to explain here, for now). The course name is: La chitarr 'nghi li pallott
@@Mary.sta.perdendo.tempo. If you do, you cold be considered like a mad and could be recovered in a clinic for mental deseases (I'm joking 😂).

Sorry to disappoint you! I'm Italian and I do order cappuccino for "merenda di sera". I can't stand coffee alone, too bitter for me. (My mother often tells me that I am German because of that) And yes, I do still live in Italy. The thing that should never be done is order a cappuccino right after lunch or dinner.
Being from Teggiano, a hill town in So. Italy, but now in the USA, I came home without telling my Nonna because I went on a tour of Italy! I never saw the sites because if I told her I would never be able to leave town. She guilts me into staying with her the whole time. But of course I love her so much and the best cook ever!! Looking forward to going home once Covid is over. Ciao!
Not true. In our tradition there is a sauce with sausage and meatballs, although afaik it's not that popular anymore nowadays. --- Non è vero, nella nostra tradizione c'è un sugo fatto con salsiccia e polpette, anche se non è più molto popolare oggi. E' cmq parte della tradizione al centro sud, non so al nord.
The nonne are the best ahah as an Italian, I can say that nonne are used to feed their family a lot. I don't think that that nonna slapped with the intent of hurting. It's just... a way to remark to eat a little more? I don't think that a nonna would be rude to a stranger. Us Italians are very touchy and sometimes we get misunderstood for that.
+mercutiana I hsve experienced this, and it is done in a way that is clearly joshing/teasing. It would be impossible to take offence. Le Nonne know what they are about.
David Monks You got the point ;) My nonna's sister is so touchy (to the point she seems a pervert), but it's totally normal! And... the more you go south and the more this is usual (I live in Bergamo, but my parents are from Apulia-Puglia)
+ Mercutiana After hearing about the grandma"nonna" that is something I would love to have for my 10 year old. I love Italian fashion and quality in my clothes, can't beat you guys, hands down!
L Cole :D Italian people are passionate and show their emotions (through fashion, design, manufacture etc too). Sometimes it looks like we are overreacting (it happened to me in Japan! Some people thought that an Italian friend of mine and me were lovers because we were really touchy, but we were not, just friends). Hope that you will have the opportunity to come and visit Italy sometime :)
+mercutiana Watch out, if you describe a person as "touchy" basically you're calling him/her "suscettibile/permaloso" ;) I think that what you meant to say is that Italians tend to get quite "physical", in that they touch a lot their friends (hands, arms, shoulders) compared to people from other countries, and such behaviour could end up being misunderstood by foreigner eyes. That's why many foreigners think Italians are flirty, because they aren't aware that such physical contact and friendliness are everyday occurrence in Italy.
As an italian I can say that all the things you talked about are pretty damn accurate! Good job, really. And as a neapolitan I cant imagine how confusing our way of crossing the road may be. We're simply used to it and learn very early how to manage crazy drivers. Its survival after all 😅
About how italians are Loud When They speak. I remember a tv advertising in The 80’ about an insurance company. There was an italian couple on holiday in Scotland and they didn’t speak english. They had to ask direction to someone an They believed that to be understood it was enough to speak loud. They addressed to someone passing by and the answer was: “I’m Scottish not deaf!”
Almost everything is correct, but for example the punctuality one is wrong because it depends (again) on where you are in Italy. South: ok most of the times, north: don't even think about it. In the North we had been influenced by northern countries like Austria and Germany, and we took some of our behaviour from them: we are less loud, more law-abiding (for example when we drive), we eat earlier during the day, and a bit less friendly. Many people from north WON'T start to talk to you unless you ask them for help! Ps: it's Vèneto, not Venèto, I know it's a strange word because the stress is on the fist syllable but still... :)
Beh anche nel nord dipende, conosco molte persone per cui una cena alle 8 significa che ci incontriamo alle 8.30, però si in generale siamo più "tranquilli".
This. So many people just don't realise that this is a country where north and south are worlds apart. Mfw I see a documentary about Milan and the director puts traditional Neapolitan singing in the background D:
Per carità non dire dove sta l'accento, che gli anglofoni usano l'accento in maniera totalmente diversa da noi. Per esempio adidas, la marca, loro la pronunciano adìdas e per loro quello è l'accento sulla prima "a" (per loro è questione di ritmica), mentre come lo pronunciamo noi (àdidas) loro lo identificano come accento sulla seconda "a" (Sentito con le mie orecchie in un video di Tia Taylor, ma confermato da alcuni forum sulla struttura sintattica della lingua)
Anch'io ho notato questa cosa nel video di Tia Taylor quando spiegava gli accenti differenti e ho pensato che avesse un po' di confusione riguardo ad essi, grazie per avermi chiarito :)

Hi, nice picture of us, thanks for posting. As Italian, born and living in Rome, and having been living in Milan too, I recognize myself in almost all you said! 😀 My I write just a few notes about some of the 10 tips: #1: true, you will never, never, never find spaghetti with meat balls, so, please, DON'T ASK FOR THAT! 😂 As we use to say, that is an "americanata" that does not exist in any part of Italy! 😉 Nowhere, never! #2: true, and shouts use to be as much louder as you move from the north to the south of the Country 😀 #3: not at all: it depends very much from the Region. What you described is valid for the southern of Italy, aproximately from Rome (included) to the deep south, but not for northern Italy, where people use to be much more accurate in timing, specially at work, and people that move from the south to the north of the Country for work or study often find it difficult to get used to the accurate conception of time that northern italians have (I did when I moved from Rome to Milan, and had to spend many years to force myself to change my habits!) #5: drammatically true 🥵 But I have a good news for you: if you are looking for a relaxed holiday, I can suggest you to visit one of the thousands of little villages that our Country can offer, less known then the most famous Venice, Rome or Florence, but as much beatyful, full of art, history and charm as them. #6: absolutely! This is linked with #1: we use to eat both spaghetti and meat balls too, but never in the same plate 😱 The only ecception can be "ragù alla bolognese", wich is a tomato with minced meat that is used to sease pasta. And remember: never invert the order of the dishes! 😬😈 I saw lots of tourists making some things that wold have deserved a criminal complaint to the international tribunal for crimes against humanity 😱 (I'm joking of course), like beginning the dinner with the cake and finishing with the pasta 🤦🏻♂️ #10: yes, if you care of your life don't touch calcio 😈 But I don't agree in Pope and fashion, I think this is a stereotype that does not correspond to reality . Well, hope you had a nice time in Italy and see you soon again!
Sul fashion capisci meglio lo stereotipo quando ti trasferisci all'estero, vivendo in Italia ci si fa meno caso...le eccezioni ovviamente ci sono, ma è nella cultura un po' come lo è il cibo

The best that can happen to you in Italy is that a nonna cooks for you.

We are loud indeed. But it's kinda strange that Americans think we're loud, as we Italians are often shocked about how Americans are even louder than us.

Do NOT go to Starbucks for your coffee!
Boycott Starbucks in Italy!
The best coffee is at a small local bar standing at the counter and should cost 1€ or less depending what region you are in.
Also Cappuccino is drunk only at breakfast and espresso is pronounced with an S not X.
Boycott Starbucks EVERYWHERE! Lol. Their coffee sucks!!!! The grossest coffee I’ve ever had. I don’t understand how in the world they are so popular.
Er Zerker I’m 34 and I I’ve been drinking coffee since I was around 5 or 6. Coffee is very important in my culture and family.
Starbucks tastes like burnt coffee that has been sitting at the bottom of the pot for about 3 days. It has no distinct flavor other than burnt, it’s bitter and you pay an exorbitant amount of money for a small serving of coffee on top of the extreme amounts of sugar if you order anything other than just a plain cup of coffee.
Never mind the horrible impact this company has on small local coffee shops and coffee plantations.

I panzerotti di Luini sono un'istituzione a Milano. Sono aperti da veramente tanti anni, guadagnandosi l'Ambrigino d'oro nel 1988. I miei genitori andavano da Luini quando uscivano da scuola (45 anni fa!). Parlano di Luini perfino in Giappone!

yes.. they seems but, when you fat american boys sleep tired in your savoy's rooms, they screw up your wives and daughter.
When I lived in Italy, it wasn't the Italians that were so loud. It were my fellow Americans that were so obnoxiously loudmouth.
Was thinking that an American calling Italians loud is the pot calling the kettle black.
indeed
It depends, as he said there are differences between the north and the south, and in the south they tend to be a little bit louder.
So true. Americans are loud as hell.
We are both loud, but in different ways.
The Americans seem sometimes a bit vulgar in their accents and manners, and they are loud in my opinion, compared to other English speakers. I had a few weird experiences with American people, but I also had a few good ones. It's difficult to generalize.
In Italy is different, but we are usually pretty loud. I can definitely admit that I am, even if I have been living abroad for years.
But if you go from Bologna, which is a very loud city, to let's say Naples, I am sure you will appreciate the different types of loudness too. Again, it's hard to speak of a generic linguistic trait for an entire country.
Generalizations are usually quite helpful, but they are mainly parcial views of much more complex realities. Languages and cultures are complex subjects, my friend!
Have a good one ✌️
An American who undestands italians. Amazing.
I don't think i do. But I linsten to '60s country music. Does it count?

I was in Italy several times and found it impossible not to have a good time or heavenly meal. What really shocked me was all the buildings, cathedrals, bridges, piazze, homes, town halls, built centuries ago and still in perfect condition. Two world wars couldn't knock them down. Shows that when people have pride and values they take are of what they build. One correction: at 5:26, it's "nonnas" not "nonas".
spideraxis Nope, is is not "Nonnas" is is "Nonna" (Grandmother) and "Nonne" (grandmothers)
That's also what I fascinates me: Europe suffered the most from the two biggest and most destructive wars in history, yet Europe still stands strong. After ww2 Europe was completely destroyed. Yet, less than 20 years later, Europe is once again an economic and military power. It's incredible how Europe survived ww1 and ww2, all the wars that happened in Europe, all the epidemics such as the black death, and so on. All of this, yet Europe is still here. EU is still among the richest in the world and among the most powerful. It seems that Europe went through the impossible, and came out of it as a winner. Also, it gives hope: if Europe has survived with success to the black death, ww1 and ww2, Europe will also survive with success to any other problem/crisis/war.

Actually, speaking loud is quite subjective because depends on the type of family and from where they come from. Usually when i'm in a restaurant or walking outside, i don't hear that much noise from people, probably just a group. It is more likely that there is more noise in a restaurant and sometimes it's a problem for me because i'm not a guy that does speak loud so if there is noise it's pretty hard to have a conversation. But as i said, is subjective to the type of people/family.

Nice video and thanks for your kind words. But If I can correct anything I'd like to say the fact that in the South there aren't as many museums as in the North isn't so true. In the South there was the Greek colonization, apart from testimonies of native civilizations so you have towns just stuck in time, that means there are several cities that are open-air museums. Just to mention some: Roca Vecchia, Alberobello with the famous "trulli" (Apulia); Sassi di Matera (Basilicata); Valle dei Templi di Agrigento (Sicily) and the two Roman cities Herculaneum and Pompeii (Campania). For the museums: Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia (Calabria) with the most well preserved Greek statues found nowadays, the "Bronzi di Riace"; Museo archeologico nazionale di Napoli with the prestigious "Collezione Farnese", Museo nazionale di Capodimonte, Museo nazionale Ferroviario di Pietrarsa (Campania); Museo archeologico nazionale di Taranto and it's not a museum but a crime not to mention Castel del Monte (Apulia) founded by "Puer Apuliæ" alias "Stupor mundi" Federico II (the castle appears also on the Italian 1 cent € coin); Museo del papiro, Museo archeologico regionale Antonino Salinas (Sicily) etc. this without mentioning all the churches, every one with a treasure inside (literally in some) and all the archeological sites included the ones in the underground... Sorry this is only a little list, scusate se è poco 😉😁

Si è vero hanno scassato con sto spaghetti e poplpette (anni 80)! Ma vogliamo parlare del PARMEZAN????
O delle fettuccine alfredo
Ti spiego: il parmesan che tanto si sente è una versione non originale del parmigiano reggiano (che appunto, può essere prodotto solo in italia). Come i pepperoni, il parmesan è un ingrediente a sé, altrimenti tutti direbbero parmigiano reggiano
Quello vegano!!!!!
@@fevermetalofadry mi dispiace non e' una scusante, lo possono ordinare dall'italia importato!
@@fabioarenaX il parmesan l'hanno fatto loro, per questo non c'è bisogno di importare il parmigiano. Sono due formaggi simili ma diversi.
Amazing video ❤️ I’m Italian and it’s so good to see that someone understands our culture instead of just saying “Italians are loud”. We are very kind people, chilled, relaxed and friendly 😊

Americans are waaaaay louder. And italians are very nice!
the food will shock you. it is that good. Some very ordinary looking restaurants serve GOURMET food its incredible
That's just because your conception of "gourmet" is different. To us, it's just ordinary.
@@Kimijun78 lol yes
"Italians are friendly"
My neighbors:" we don't do that here"
@M5c Hulk yes
its ironic for him to make that statement, since he apparently went no where near Naples.. THAT is where you[re gonna find the overly freindly people! LOL
In America are even more friendly though, everybody says "hi" or "Hey what's up" if you come across em in the stairs or in the elevator......in Italy most people would remain silent if they don't know You and if You try to initiate a small talk they would Think You're insane or You wanna rob em.
@@stopit1210 depends on the people. I've been in different places in Italy to visit relatives or friends, and their neighbors were kind to me as well, even though we never saw each other. But yes, i guess you're right, generally speaking. Probably in Italy people are more friendly when you get to know them better, but initially it's an uphill
@@stopit1210 In Italy this beaviour is perceived as weird and fake...we are less in casual relationship, we are polite but formal with people we don't know. Small talk is useless and a waste of time especially if you are a stranger who starts to randomly talk to me when i am just busy with my day-schedule.

Torino(Turin): Juventus vs Torino
Milano(Milan): Milan vs Inter
Io lo perdonerei per l'equivoco... Forse non hai l'idea di quanto sia noioso seguire il Baseball... Poverino, per lui il calcio è tutta un'altra dimensione!

Inter juve è il derby d'italia ma in realtà non esiste più perché era nato con questo nome siccome erano le uniche 2 squadre a non aver mai giocato in B

Correct. I’ll also add: polenta, lasagne, cuscus (in Sicily) and savoury pies.
While fried wheat food like calzoni, croquettes, supplì or crostini, despite similar to “first dishes” are actually used as a starter or appetizer in pizzerie, and not as primi piatti.

You are Amazing, really. My eyes were wet and you know Italy very well because all of your comments, for being a tourist, are so appropriate. Compliments really.
Thanks Lussy!!
I was in the US Navy from '87 to '91. After I finished Bootcamp and A-School I was stationed on a ship in Gaeta Italy. I absolutely love the country and the people. I also had much more of a culture shock when my ship visited places like Turkey, Isreal, and Egypt. Those places were even more foreign to me.
Italians are among st one of the friendliest people I ever met!! Grew up surrounded with Italians and other ethnicity. I remember always sharing food with them especially with my next door neighbor, hehe. Loud is just something normal for us Filipino's aswell!! Loud but very friendly and welcoming
+Ariela In my experience Italians are some of the most attractive people also hahaha
+Ariela Yeah, keep those ethnic stereotypes coming girl ......
Gatto Buono Bitter much? This is based on the experiences that I've had and of course I've met the ignorant, close-minded, foul-mouthed ones too. It's a matter how you want to speak on ethnic groups despite your judgement towards me. My experiences were based on how I treat, talk and think of them and just learn to put up with the others who think otherwise. I just happen to have more positive experiences than negative ones.
Ariela
Quote: _"My experiences were based on how I treat, talk and think of them and just learn to put up with the others who think otherwise."_
So in other words, you choose to view the Italians through rose tinted glasses. Hardly an objective opinion is it?
Ma dimmi un po', tu sei mai vissuta qua in Italia? Credo di no, vero?
Gatto Buono It's not rose tinted glasses you dumb fuck it's called personal experience she basically told us what her experience with Italians was and that she liked them why the fuck are you even arguing? Why don't you just do everyone a favor and fuck off
Wow...I'm Italian and I must admit that this video is perfect hehe. Welcome to Italy! :)
Grazie Luca!

Good job, really. This is maybe the first video I see with no kind of prejudice. It's amazing, I can see you love My country.
Only a mistake: we don't say "Nonas" but "nonne", this is the right therm. Xoxo from Rome!
Angela Rizzica prejudice? He is white like the Italians, how can he be prejudice towards them.
@@vivaeuropa Not all prejudice is based on race. Plenty of people are prejudiced towards other countries even if they're both white.
@@rebeccahicks4949 A white person can hate all white people which makes him racist but if a white person hated one of the white ethnic groups like Italians for example it'd just be hating an ethnic group but not the race as a whole so it's not racist just hateful.
Italy is nice compare to the countries I have visit
Già è incredibile come si possa dimenticare l'italiano vivendo all'estero.
My Mom is Sicilian. When I used to bring home slim friends, she would shake her head, hold up her finger, and say, “She is like a toothpick,” or “He is nothing but bones,” and drag out some bread and cheese for them to eat. 😂😂😂😂😂

thank you so much for this brilliant presentation of us crazy, loud, BUT awesome people... each city is different, like each menu of each restaurant
+Francesco Tanganelli fantastico, mi sembra di vedere piu` italiani che inglesi nei commenti ahah
+Fil1204 beh per una volta una recensione non stereotipata
infatti, perfetta
sbagliato commento?
avevo letto uguale :-)
Something that might shock Americans is that there is no Starbucks in the whole if Italy! But instead you have all these little authentic cafes :)
+der Führer when I was in Brussels an American said "we have a Starbucks on every corner" so I think it might be surprising for them. I never said it's a good thing that we have Starbucks or any franchise stores on every corner.
not even in the airport???
+Sassilovestheoc Starbucks was actually inspired by italian bars. Why should we import it when we already have the original thing?
+Sassilovestheoc
We also don't have KFC.
Italy is th eonly pcuntry in the EU that doesn't have KFC, they had opened one in Roma like in the early 80s but it didn't go well so they closed and haven't open again since.
Wendy's also opened in a few cities in the late 80's but then closed up.
Only US restoration multinationals that operate in Italy are McDo and Burger King.
No Starbucks and no Pizza Hut of course as we have excellent coffee and pizza habits so they would simply fail and shut down in a few months.
+Avion you obviously read my comment wrong or not at all. Like I said before I never said it's a bad thing, just that it would surprise some Americans.
I am Italian, and at 42 I can say I am always and always being in time - not even five minutes late ONCE. :)
My husband is Italian and he is always early or on time!
How?
Is clearly a generalization.
Same. Always earlier or on time
"Nonnas are overhelping" , maybe the best quote to resume my whole life here in South Italy 😂 nice video 😁
Grazie!
I'm from Italy and spaghetti and meatballs is a dish used only in the small province of Teramo and surroundings. But is a dish used only at home and you'll never find it at restaurants.
My grandma was from Teramo and used to prepare spaghetti and meatballs since I was a little child
+Diego De Luca very cool to know. Grazie!
+woltersworld you're welcome
+Diego De Luca Anyway probably the spaghetti and meatballs that your grandma used to prepare are plenty different from the american "Spaghetti and meatballs" concept, at least about the size of the meatballs or the type of meat.
+Eleonora Faccioli I've never tasted the US version of spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs we prepare @ my house are about 5 cm. of diameter and, just as example, they looks very similar to the ones that you can see at Lilli and the tramp.
And, to be more precise, the original recipe isn't with simple spaghetti but with "spaghetti alla chitarra" (guitar spaghetti, too long to explain here, for now).
The course name is: La chitarr 'nghi li pallott
+Diego De Luca I think that 5 cm are a good size :) I
MAN! Finally someone who speaks the truth about Italians! You touched me!!!! Please come and be my guest for a limoncello!
Limoncello mi piace
And remember: NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEEEEVEEEERRRR order a cappucino outside breakfast (after 11.00 AM)!
What could happen?
RIGHT! 👍 If you do, you could cause the barman to have a shock
@@Mary.sta.perdendo.tempo. If you do, you cold be considered like a mad and could be recovered in a clinic for mental deseases (I'm joking 😂). That should be like ordering pasta or pizza for brekfast 😱 WTF????? We use to drink cappuccino OLNY for breakfast, and eat pasta or pizza for launch or dinner, and NEVER vice versa
Sorry to disappoint you! I'm Italian and I do order cappuccino for "merenda di sera". I can't stand coffee alone, too bitter for me. (My mother often tells me that I am German because of that) And yes, I do still live in Italy. The thing that should never be done is order a cappuccino right after lunch or dinner.
@@Hijelis anche io sono italiano e te lo confermo... SEI UN TEDESCO!!! XD
great video man.. I'm an Italian living in Australia and just loved seeing how you described it
Cheers

Honestly, in Northern Italy if you say "we're meeting at 9'30", people do show up at 9'30 XD
Being from Teggiano, a hill town in So. Italy, but now in the USA, I came home without telling my Nonna because I went on a tour of Italy! I never saw the sites because if I told her I would never be able to leave town. She guilts me into staying with her the whole time. But of course I love her so much and the best cook ever!! Looking forward to going home once Covid is over. Ciao!
Spaghetti and meatballs is something you americans invented just like "alfredo pasta" lol. Theres no such thing here
Sere M Sinceramente se faccio pasta al sugo e polpette le metto anche insieme, poi al sud è anche abbastanza utilizzata come ricetta
Sere M Ciao ...., I grew up in Italy and still live there and i love it ❤️ 💚
cr87129 no such thing as Alfredo sauce in Italy
Not true. In our tradition there is a sauce with sausage and meatballs, although afaik it's not that popular anymore nowadays. --- Non è vero, nella nostra tradizione c'è un sugo fatto con salsiccia e polpette, anche se non è più molto popolare oggi. E' cmq parte della tradizione al centro sud, non so al nord.
MrGilRoland I live in Sicily and nobody cooks it. It must be a really local thing
The nonne are the best ahah as an Italian, I can say that nonne are used to feed their family a lot. I don't think that that nonna slapped with the intent of hurting. It's just... a way to remark to eat a little more? I don't think that a nonna would be rude to a stranger. Us Italians are very touchy and sometimes we get misunderstood for that.
+mercutiana
I hsve experienced this, and it is done in a way that is clearly joshing/teasing. It would be impossible to take offence. Le Nonne know what they are about.
David Monks You got the point ;)
My nonna's sister is so touchy (to the point she seems a pervert), but it's totally normal! And... the more you go south and the more this is usual (I live in Bergamo, but my parents are from Apulia-Puglia)
+ Mercutiana After hearing about the grandma"nonna" that is something I would love to have for my 10 year old. I love Italian fashion and quality in my clothes, can't beat you guys, hands down!
L Cole :D Italian people are passionate and show their emotions (through fashion, design, manufacture etc too). Sometimes it looks like we are overreacting (it happened to me in Japan! Some people thought that an Italian friend of mine and me were lovers because we were really touchy, but we were not, just friends). Hope that you will have the opportunity to come and visit Italy sometime :)
+mercutiana Watch out, if you describe a person as "touchy" basically you're calling him/her "suscettibile/permaloso" ;)
I think that what you meant to say is that Italians tend to get quite "physical", in that they touch a lot their friends (hands, arms, shoulders) compared to people from other countries, and such behaviour could end up being misunderstood by foreigner eyes. That's why many foreigners think Italians are flirty, because they aren't aware that such physical contact and friendliness are everyday occurrence in Italy.
As an italian I can say that all the things you talked about are pretty damn accurate! Good job, really.
And as a neapolitan I cant imagine how confusing our way of crossing the road may be. We're simply used to it and learn very early how to manage crazy drivers. Its survival after all 😅
I almost got ran over trying to go to a restaurant
About how italians are Loud When They speak. I remember a tv advertising in The 80’ about an insurance company. There was an italian couple on holiday in Scotland and they didn’t speak english. They had to ask direction to someone an They believed that to be understood it was enough to speak loud. They addressed to someone passing by and the answer was: “I’m Scottish not deaf!”
I'm Scottish (so not too smart) but not deaf... This should be the correct version
Thank you my friend!! we love smart tourists!!
+JerryMcMads all the best to you!
Almost everything is correct, but for example the punctuality one is wrong because it depends (again) on where you are in Italy. South: ok most of the times, north: don't even think about it.
In the North we had been influenced by northern countries like Austria and Germany, and we took some of our behaviour from them: we are less loud, more law-abiding (for example when we drive), we eat earlier during the day, and a bit less friendly. Many people from north WON'T start to talk to you unless you ask them for help!
Ps: it's Vèneto, not Venèto, I know it's a strange word because the stress is on the fist syllable but still... :)
Beh anche nel nord dipende, conosco molte persone per cui una cena alle 8 significa che ci incontriamo alle 8.30, però si in generale siamo più "tranquilli".
This. So many people just don't realise that this is a country where north and south are worlds apart.
Mfw I see a documentary about Milan and the director puts traditional Neapolitan singing in the background
D:
Per carità non dire dove sta l'accento, che gli anglofoni usano l'accento in maniera totalmente diversa da noi. Per esempio adidas, la marca, loro la pronunciano adìdas e per loro quello è l'accento sulla prima "a" (per loro è questione di ritmica), mentre come lo pronunciamo noi (àdidas) loro lo identificano come accento sulla seconda "a" (Sentito con le mie orecchie in un video di Tia Taylor, ma confermato da alcuni forum sulla struttura sintattica della lingua)
Anch'io ho notato questa cosa nel video di Tia Taylor quando spiegava gli accenti differenti e ho pensato che avesse un po' di confusione riguardo ad essi, grazie per avermi chiarito :)
I'm from south Italy and I second this.
inter vs MILAN, torino vs Juventus.. a Derby is two team of same city
+Francesco Tanganelli It doesnt have to be...have you forgotten Barca vs Madrid? Or Dortmund vs Bayern? Or PSG vs Marseille?
+Jadran Ahlstrom derby means, two teams of the same city, barca vs madrid isn't a derby it's called clasico for this reason.
Jadran Ahlstrom hi, no, anyone of this are derby. PSG vs Racing Paris is a derby, PSG vs Marsilles is a classico, like barca vs real madrid ... the real madrid derby is real vs atletico, bayern munchen vs Monaco 1860
there are also super clasico like the two mayor big teams in the challenge, like crotone vs pizzighettone
+Francesco Tanganelli Curva Sud
Hi, nice picture of us, thanks for posting. As Italian, born and living in Rome, and having been living in Milan too, I recognize myself in almost all you said! 😀
My I write just a few notes about some of the 10 tips:
#1: true, you will never, never, never find spaghetti with meat balls, so, please, DON'T ASK FOR THAT! 😂 As we use to say, that is an "americanata" that does not exist in any part of Italy! 😉 Nowhere, never!
#2: true, and shouts use to be as much louder as you move from the north to the south of the Country 😀
#3: not at all: it depends very much from the Region. What you described is valid for the southern of Italy, aproximately from Rome (included) to the deep south, but not for northern Italy, where people use to be much more accurate in timing, specially at work, and people that move from the south to the north of the Country for work or study often find it difficult to get used to the accurate conception of time that northern italians have (I did when I moved from Rome to Milan, and had to spend many years to force myself to change my habits!)
#5: drammatically true 🥵 But I have a good news for you: if you are looking for a relaxed holiday, I can suggest you to visit one of the thousands of little villages that our Country can offer, less known then the most famous Venice, Rome or Florence, but as much beatyful, full of art, history and charm as them.
#6: absolutely! This is linked with #1: we use to eat both spaghetti and meat balls too, but never in the same plate 😱 The only ecception can be "ragù alla bolognese", wich is a tomato with minced meat that is used to sease pasta. And remember: never invert the order of the dishes! 😬😈 I saw lots of tourists making some things that wold have deserved a criminal complaint to the international tribunal for crimes against humanity 😱 (I'm joking of course), like beginning the dinner with the cake and finishing with the pasta 🤦🏻♂️
#10: yes, if you care of your life don't touch calcio 😈 But I don't agree in Pope and fashion, I think this is a stereotype that does not correspond to reality .
Well, hope you had a nice time in Italy and see you soon again!
Grazie x aver rettificato il punto sulla puntualita'. Non è che arriviamo sempre con mezz'ora di ritardo...😧
Sul fashion capisci meglio lo stereotipo quando ti trasferisci all'estero, vivendo in Italia ci si fa meno caso...le eccezioni ovviamente ci sono, ma è nella cultura un po' come lo è il cibo
