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.

[@mariaagosti-pm7tk]

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.

I’m an Italian girl from a city near Venice. Something that always surprise me is this concept of the “dolce far niente” that foreigners see in us. Honestly where? I think they want to see it in us. We are stressed everywhere. We would love to give time to our families but with this economy people work many hours and with a very low stipend. I’ve never seen an Italian walking slowly to admire the landscape and be cool with it. Maybe this is the north of Italy, but this is the reality I’ve lived (a stressing environment 😂).

[@RiccardoGabarriniKazeatari]

I'm from the North but I live in the South, and I can assure you here it's the same. People are shocked seeing shops are closed for "launch break" until 16-16.30, but that's because most days there are 40+ degrees during the summer, and that late opening in the afternoon is compensated by a late closing in the evening even in small towns

No my friend the main Italian industry its not the turism business, its the manufacturer industry that in Europe its second only to Germany, so before you state samething so important just read it, italian manufacturer industry its one of the biggest in the world and we do not make only pasta or gucci bags, we make boeing 787 fusalage till microchip for the automotive industry

[@Nomad_783]

agreed. I was shocked to know that tourism is only about 8% in gdp which is extremely high compared to other countries, yet very small compared to 100%. Meaning 92% comes from everything else. Cars, fashion, agriculture, main brands like Barilla or Mulino Bianco even. Was shocked to know there are window manufacturers that are one of the biggest in europe and so many other businesses that people have no clue to be italian. Pharma business is huge in Lazio. Many pharma companies produce for Switzerland and whole Europe actually. Other than the obvious known companies like gucci, bulgari, fiat, ferrari...etc. which are still great.

Italy is LAST in Europe for alcohol consumption. This is because Italians drink to savor fine wines and spirits in pleasant company, elsewhere instead they guzzle liters of alcohol with the precise purpose of getting drunk until they drop. In particular, in Italy people drink MUCH less than in Germany (third in Europe tied with Latvia). Just to restore a little truth...

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.

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.

I believe he may have been referring to the population when he said that Italy is the "fastest shrinking country." This is true for the West and due to Italy's aging population and low birthrate. Also, I think the question about the economy is much too complicated to be discussed in a short form interview like this, but he is not wrong when he says that tourism is one of the main industries. So, why do you consider these stereotypes? I think we can all agree that stereotypes can be harmful, but I don't understand how these two examples are being categorized as stereotypes.

Where else you can see such a variety of art, landscape, history, beauty? About habits: yes, we're different. Every Country is different from the others. Have us to change our habits because the prince/ss of you came here? And yes, we work for a living, we're not living for the work itself. We're not robots, we're human being and life is really short. But working 15 hours a day or fast, doesn't mean a better work. In fact, many Countries try to have Italian doctors, architects, etc. And you're annoyed by people talking to you in the shops?

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.

Example, each time I bump into Germans or Eastern European, (no offence meant here by all means) who have settled in a foreign country, they always find the negative things first and complain accordingly, and hardly see the positive things first.
