How are Italian people different from people in their country, why it's complicated to make friends in Florence and how living in Italy has changed them.

    Unfortunately foreigners tend to always go to the same places when they come to Italy. In reality we must consider that in Italy there are 20 regions, all different from each other. There are different lifestyles, different dialects, different food, different climate etc. For each region. My suggestion is to go beyond the usual destinations, choose an area, a region and visit it calmly away from the most crowded areas, you will not be disappointed.

      Yeah, for example, if you go to smaller Italian towns close to the Swiss boarder, such as Luino, life is way more different than life in Milan, Rome or Florence. Its not that great there and you see a lot of poverty.

      In Italy alcohol is purchased less than in other European countries, so I highly doubt that Italians drink more than Germans and Americans. Italians probably drink more frequently because there is the habit of drinking a glass of wine or beer at lunch or dinner but the quantity of alcohol ingested is evidently much more limited, in fact over half of the population drink very little alcohol and only during meals and many do not drink alcohol at all, for example I am a teetotaler and have never drunk alcohol in my life. It is typical of warm Mediterranean countries to drink little alcohol, in fact Italy, Spain and Greece are the countries where people drink the least amount of alcohol in Europe.

    The girl from Texas is still in the "honeymoon" probably (after 2 years, good for her), I'm sorry to say that it will end unfortunately (when and if it happens, I hope she will be still well in Italy).
    The girl from Moldova instead maybe is here from too long, it's possible that Italy (Florence?) are not right for her, so why not change? It's not easy I know but you're young and is not like it used to be, young people can go anywhere if want (sure, this if, as I believe and hope, you've Italian citizenship also).
    The other people seemed extremely evenhanded to me (regard good and/or bad stuff).
    A thing (to refer) to the last words by the Italian-Serbian guy: tourism is important of course (as in every country) but much less than people thinks (it worth 6% of GDP, even considering the related industries, it don't reach 11%), I know the media talk a lot about that (specially after the pandemic years) but believe me, are other the "industries" (ie, the manufacturing) who keep this country still standing.
    I wrote a too long comment, sorry (for English also), anyway, the ending sentence by the girl from South Florida is perfect and it should apply to every country: "you have to conform to Italy, is not Italy who have to conform to you".

    Itaians are Fatalists (che sarà, sarà), whereas Americans are (rather foolistly) optimistic. They are also a lot more anxious than foreigners realise. Foreigners should also realise that things generally don't work (it's all old), and this is a country in which "urgent" means "within the month." (I've lived and worked here for 35 years.) The food is great, though, and rents are affordable. The countryside is breathtakingly beautiful.

    I just want to comment on one of the countless stereotypes in this video: "Italy Is the fastest shrinking country of the world, the main industries are tourism etc." I report just a couple of quotes that anyone can find with Google "Italy is the ninth largest economy in the world and the third largest in the Euro Zone. The country has a diversified industrial base driven in large part by manufacturing of high-quality consumer goods ." or "Do not adjust your set: Italy is growing faster than Germany". Always the same old story, people speaking without a minimum of information, just stereotypes. So I'll write a couple of them: "The thing that distinguishes Americans is ignorance" or maybe "in the USA they can shoot you in the street". The usual stereotypes. Don't come to Italy, thanks.

    Very interesting. I'm an American raised by immigrant Italian parents from Sicily. We've always had access to my grandparent's house there so I spend a lot of time in Sicily visiting relatives and friends since childhood also traveling throughout Italy. I accept and understand both cultures exactly how they are, both the negatives and the positives. It also helps speaking the language and our dialect that I was taught as a child. There are certain things I can relate more with Italy than the US like how one dresses in public, food, that's all we talk about, and family being together quite often especially at meals. I can get loud and passionate myself about things at times so I can actually relate, maybe it's in the DNA. I can also understand people's frustration with the beurocracy in Italy and the further south you go, the worse it gets. If I were to go and live in Sicily, there wouldn't be any culture shock because I'm very familiar with Sicily, Northern Italy perhaps.

      I don't think they are complaining because they think it's wrong or because they are upset. It's just astonishment of experiencing something different, people actually like their minds to be blown or preconceptions broken, so a little complaining doesn't hurt anyone. In fact, it's very Italian! Your comment was complaining too. See, already a thing in common! Cheers mate.

    Firenze is all about tourism and foreign people. Each foreign visitor have to pay five euros a day tourist tax, the highest in Italy's. Also, new hotels are constantly opening every month. The number of B&B rose dramatically from the arrivingof airb&b in Italy. The result is no more houses to rent for a long time, only day by day. So, yes, tourism is a big thing here in Florence.

I am aware that even the Spanish bureaucracy is so useless complicated that you have to pray Zeus to understand how to to get out of it.

    The main problem is that foreigners especially americans idealise Italy. Italy has so many flaws. Also, its very diverse country with a lot of economical difficulties. For sure after a while, the stereotype of italians being friendly and fun goes away. Also, many people in italy never left their town so maybe when they meet a foreigners they just think: "ok I just want to have fun".

Also the older people who are in charge of everything are ignorant, racist and treat employees like slaves. We also have issues with illegal gypsy camps. Of course there are good things about living here, like the food, the sights and the people, but everything else sucks, even compared to northern Italy.
