Italian Stereotypes! - Let an Italian tell you about them...

[@amandamarie1853]

I am Italian American and my father came here from Italy. He's actually not loud at all. He's actually very soft spoken. I'm so glad you made this video haha I sent it to all of my friends haha

[@itselissanotalyssa]

1:24 "unfortunately" HAHAHAHAHA and 3:26 OMG I'M DYING 😂😂😂

[@RomeInside]

I don't know if you'll get to meet him haha

[@ginger942]

Vuoi fare chiarezza sugli stereotipi italiani e metti in sottofondo una musichetta che stereotipa l'Italia. COERENZA.

[@saraswatkin9226]

Brilliant, your brother has good timing lol

[@muc4647]

I recently discovered your channel and I love it. Mi piace molto💜. I reckon, like the gentleman said before, that not all Italians always do love all children. But one thing stays in my mind. The 1996 edition of the Festival of Speed in Goodwood was attended by the Ferrari F1-Team for the very first time. The fans were excited. But in the morning the racecars were not on the track as they were scheduled. The crew was putting children in the cars in the paddock for photos... How can you not love this Italian interpretation of a thight scheduled program. Unless you are the organiser ofcourse. But even then.

[@Fleuur]

Your video made me laugh! It was so funny! 😁 I’m glad to know about real stereotypes! 😁

[@RomeInside]

So glad you enjoyed it! And yes, let's not spread the false ones haha :D

[@bizarredragonsgameland]

Pizza is usually a treat. However there are about 300 different types of pasta. 😂 People also assume that pasta is just tomatoes.*facepalm* In my opinion Italians are not loud compared to others. Afghans are very loud. Italians in general are just friendly. The older generations are religious yes, the younger generations not so much.

[@JohnKruse]

I'll say Italians are friendly with cute kids - not so much with homely children. Not to brag, but my son was a really cute child. Everywhere we went, shopkeepers, baristas and even strangers were giving him free stuff (e.g., toys) or a seat on a crowded bus. Meanwhile, I'd see other children of the same age being ignored. It actually really bothered us because he has grown up thinking that his preferential treatment is normal.

[@rabbia7351]

Regarding "friendly with kids". I wouldn't express it quite like that , but there is a noticeable difference from what I'll call 'anglo' cultures - the UK, USA, Australia, Canada etc. Italians are far more tolerant, with children, at least in public. Suppose a toddler or small child is behaving in a store or supermarket, creating havoc. In Italy you are far more likely to get a.'poverino' type reaction.to the child, from the store people, the parent(s), and other customers. Overall people aren't that fussed. But the anglo reaction might be quite different. The parent might be embarrassed by what their child is doing, even ticked off to the point they will be forceful with the child (who might well deserve it). Nearly everyone will want the child to be brought quickly into line and under control. Part of this is, the anglo will not want their child to be the cause of a spectacle. Italians are much more relaxed in this regard. Of course these are generalisations, but valid I'd say. And there are valid reasons, for each approach. Italians just view children rather differently, in general.

[@jamesavickers5961]

Enjoying the vlogs Lisa grazie ciao

[@katieinboston8729]

Mama is more powerful than the police. And the best way to get an Italian guy to leave you alone is to call "Mama!" to any woman who looks like she could be yours. :)

[@Whippets]

Yes some Italians buy their pasta and sometimes a sauce, but plenty of Italians don't --- especially the sauce. Plus what people overseas need to understand is that the Italian sauce they buy is MUCH better than what you would find in say an American supermarket. In fact Italian supermarkets are vastly superior when it comes to things like cheeses, pastas, sauces, condiments, etc.

[@LostinFamily]

ESCI DA QUESTA STANZA!!! ahahaha ;)

[@RomeInside]

Sarà qualche lontano gene da gangster... Hahaha

[@NaturaBreeze]

Italians arent that loud....Chinese are LOUD...they talk at a high pitch and going there, everything is LOUD..TV, radios, people, sirens...everything

[@christam8887]

Hi , I loveeeeeeee your vlogs! Anyway , i have italian friends, one of them is very polite and not flirty. Interested with woman but he just very different.. i just wow. He breaks the stereotype. This might be possible right? Much love from Indonesia xx kisses

[@RomeInside]

Thanks darling! Of course it's possible, not every italian guy is flirty! 😀

[@madamedellaporte4214]

My sister -in-law who is Italian does make her own pasta now and then.

[@gosf05]

Is it true that Italian mothers and grandmothers have more power that the Pope himself??

[@RomeInside]

Hahahaha so true, you better not upset nonna and finish your meal.

[@gosf05]

wow... so you'd be that powerful someday then! Ruling them all

[@carlocumino824]

Not political

[@bizarredragonsgameland]

Correct, 🤗 pope or not, what a nonna tells you, you do it.

[@bizarredragonsgameland]

Rome Inside Yes I've noticed that too. There's no way to tell a nonna no. 😅

[@aahanavohra3738]

I am watching this video 100th time and I have downloaded this.❤️What’s your Instagram?

[@RomeInside]

Hahaha glad you like it! My instagram is @romeinside

[@alexysq2660]

I tend to 'see'/think of Italians as, frequently, very much being quite artistic and creative, virtually as a part of the culture to a great extent. Whether or not this might constitute some sort of "stereotype" i'm not actually certain; however, if it is, it's truly rather a lovely one, i should/would say ({: D ...! Otherwise, generally speaking, i feel that 'blanket generalisations' concerning a people are, more often than not, merely a collection of characteristics which might just as well apply to practically any other group or nationality, etc, equally well - for the most part at least.

[@Auritilien]

I've hard the stories about Italian men and their close relationship with their mothers. Is that the same with Italian women, or do they have a similar bond with their fathers? Observations from my North Italian male friends: when they speak in English they use a lot of c'mon. It is hard to get a hold of them, i.e. get them to message you and/or have a call with them. But once you do arrange that video call they are friendly and heartwarming.

[@reaux3921]

No, mothers hate their daughters. And fathers don’t care about their daughters.

[@reaux3921]

Italy is a sexist backwards country.

[@luuundeen]

Tell me that it was a dialect when someone opened the door. I could only understand the last words and thinking my Italian is lousy hahahaha Great video, by the way! I can relate to eating pasta every day. How can someone get tired of pasta? Never ending options!

[@RomeInside]

Hahaha one word is dialect but the angry tone is probably what makes it difficult to understand, so your italian is not the problem! :D (Anyway I said: esci da questa stanza o ti ammazzo, sto filmando = get out of this room or I'll kill you, I'm filming) Pasta is just like a blank canvas!

[@dreisonluis]

Isabela, same here!

[@racht.bremen3125]

Americans, Irish, Chinese, and more are pretty loud ---- Italians are in the norm for loud but not the loudest.

[@BAHARBINSON000]

Italian women are huge flirters too lol

[@reaux3921]

Erm they’re not standing in street cat calling anyone

[@reaux3921]

No they’re not. That’s why the stereotype is only applied to men.

[@reaux3921]

No Italian woman in her right mind would flirt with u inceI

[@reaux3921]

At least they don’t cat call and flirt with anything that breathes like u males

[@video198712]

I am half Sicilian American and we are loud

[@satoshibitcoinsaki6532]

4:57 Elissa I don't cat call anybody but you are gorgeous in my opinion!!!!!

[@midnight-2021]

Get the stereotype that Italians are short because most Italian American men are under 5'10" 177 cm and look about 5'8" 173 cm on average. Most Italian Americans are from southern regions of Italy with alot from Sicily. But many Americans that visited Italy said that Italians aren't short but actually tall even in Europe. Many claim that young adult Italian men even in Sicily look 5'10" 177 cm on average and in their northern regions they felt that young Italian men look 6'0" 183 cm on average and that Italy as a whole fir men is about 5'11" 180 cm on average. Italians in Italy are noticeably taller then Italian Americans. Many also felt that the Germans with their tall stereotype is way overrated as well. 6'0" 183 cm for men is a common very average height for men in their northern provinces near The Netherlands and Denmark but in most of the rest of Germany it was more like 5'10" 177 cm for men on average and in their southern most provinces 5'9" 175 cm looked like a very common average height for men.

[@BoundInChains]

You are not mafia!!?? How disappointing.

[@Helena-vp1ln]

My father and my grandfather (born in 1910 and who knew the Mass by heart in Latin)) were 'communists' and supported the law on abortion and divorce. My mother's family is more religious, but they also distinguish between state and church without problems. Italians know human nature well and many of them are religious only when it's convenient.

[@cricketforster4642]

Can someone translate what she and the guy said for me? thanks!

[@BAHARBINSON000]

Is it just me or do Italian bosses or teachers very lenient towards their Italian employees or students? Maybe it’s just in America.

[@radiantsvn]

it depends of course

[@gabrielearcangeli4712]

Ma perché se sei italiana fai l'accento inglese quando dici pasta e pizza? Te prego no..

[@user-zs4sx4hw9k]

All the italians I know are really loud. When they speak they almost "shout". The same for people from the middle east.

[@radiantsvn]

it's ok but the point is, not all Italians are like that!

[@sirloinofbeef9683]

_MAMA MIA_

[@paulr.4968]

Domino’s pizza is popular in Italy.

[@manuelaspecchia5791]

No

[@petunia4474]

LOUD? Not as loud as the American girl who had too much to drink when I was in Rome last month. I'm American Italian and was totally embarrassed for her (trust me she was NOT embarrassed at all). In the restaurant my sons and I heard this loud voice and she didn't stop until she left about 45 minutes of that annoying and loud voice! I thought I got away from that in US.

[@reaux3921]

Who cares? It’s one chick. Italians are louder generally.

[@racht.bremen3125]

Southern Italian American culture dominates Hollywood like Beer gardens and Lederhosen are more from Southern Germans.

[@so-fg7ig]

Sorry Elisa absolutely do not agree with you on the sauce. Most Italians prepare the sauce and only those who are either incapable or very lazy buy it.

[@solaccursio]

I buy it. I'm not incapable or lazy, just don't have time to waste on something I find ready. If I have time I cook something I can't buy "already made" (and I hate tomato sauce anyway... it's just for empty fridge emergencies)

[@bizarredragonsgameland]

Really? 🤔 So a working women who works 8-10 a day is expected to come home and make a pasta sauce from scratch? Maybe in 1958 when women had time make sauce sure. I've lived in Italy for three years, I've seen many Italians buy sauce. 🤔 They are busy hard working 40+ hours a week. Sooo??? I guess you have time and no bambini to make a frigging sauce. Typical man.

[@bizarredragonsgameland]

Sol Accursio I think he lives in 1958 when women stayed at home and made sauce. ^°^

[@so-fg7ig]

who say that it must necessarily be a woman to cook, in my house (and I was born in 1960) have always cooked my father who had a full time job. I work full time myself and cook much more than my wife. The sharing of housework without distinction applies in our home. The pasta sauce can be made and stored for a few days in the fridge without any problem. You are the victim of the stereotype of the housewife, a figure that no longer exists. Domestic work is rightly shared. But this does not justify using junk food for yourself or your children, cooking a good sauce can take from 30 minutes to 90 minutes depending on its complexity. You can also eat healthy with quick but cooked dishes prepared with fresh products of good quality. I do not know if you are a female or a male, your nickname does not reveal it, I do not even know your nationality, what I criticized to Elisa and to talk about what she does not know. You can talk about your personal situation, you cannot claim to represent Italy, because most of the information you provide is only that of the commonplaces in which most Italians do not identify. Perhaps they can be applied to small circles of his generation. When talking about a country you must be prepared and speak with data and donated not for limited feelings or knowledge.

[@so-fg7ig]

raised my two children and spent all my free time with them; my wife could not do it because of her health. I am aware that I am not alone and many people do so in silence without complaining happily that they can do their homework. I also had to humiliate myself, like finding myself in difficulty to change my son or my daughter because the changing table was always located in the toilet of the girls in which I was denied access (I'm talking about the early 90's) or by the pediatrician who invited me to return with his mother because (asuo opinion) who would undress and dress the child (with the second was easier). Females know and can scream their problems to the world, we males act in silence.

[@ilyatermini1022]

Non hai sottotitolato la tua minaccia...!!!!

[@colinaitken5090]

Americans are loudest,dress sense and talking😂

[@LeroiAnna]

Lol what is this video. I’ve lived on 3 different continents and I have been living here for 3 years. Sure not everyone eats pizza and pasta everyday but you damn well offer it everyday (and different variations of pasta with different sauces is still pasta, also you have different types of bread based foods that for non Italians is still pizza so youl find it next to almost all dishes). You are the loudest, by far, extra passionate so it can be small or big but you all just yell to get your points across or crack a joke etc. heck your shouting in parts of your video lol but being Italian means you think it’s normal. No none of you are gangsters but you like to just word things like gangsters, otherwise your pretty soft.. Other than that, yea the stereotypes are correct. Oh, and every location in Italy is “better than any other location” in Italy. Every colored person is either Nigerian or Moroccan , and every Asian person is Chinese.

[@NaturaBreeze]

and religious? hmmm, nope....young Italians now care more about tattoos, piercings, smoking, drinking (and drugs) than religion...sadly

[@reaux3921]

Religion is stupid and backwards.

[@dancingderwish1067]

omg, You are so cute...and Your accent as well ♥ I just want to marry You on the spot...
