If you are a woman who plans to go to Italy, admit that you thought about the possibility of having a short but incredibly passionate affair with a sultry brown-eyed, dark-haired, attractive Italian who will surely show you all the beauties of the city with which you will throw coins in fountains and dance until you drop in one of the cozy bars. These are your expectations, but are they true? We have prepared ten facts about Italians. Some of them are true, and some of you will seem to be hackneyed stereotypes that we tried to confirm or deny.
- Italian men are surprisingly romantic and passionate.
Not true: Of course, you can still meet such individuals in Italy, but they, unfortunately, as Italians suspect, will disappear like mammoths. Therefore, if you are lucky or have been fortunate enough to meet such a man in Italy, then consider that you have hit the jackpot.
- Italian men are "sissies"
True: Mom always remains the most dear person, but know that if you enter into a relationship with an Italian, he will never stop comparing you and his mother. Especially in the kitchen.
- All Italian men love football
Not true: Of course, not all. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that some Italian football fans sometimes so plunge into their emotions during the game of their favorite team that they become like religious fanatics.
- Italian men are jealous
It is not possible to unequivocally answer this statement. However, a study by the University of Pisa indicates that it true. Moreover, the evidence suggests that representatives of southern Italy tend to be more jealous and more likely than Italians living in the north of the country.
- The path to the heart of an Italian man lies through his stomach: a well-cooked pasta or pizza will help you win Italian macho forever. It seems trivial, but we still mention this fact.
Not true: Italians eat more than carbohydrates.
- Italian men are ready to marry the "good girl" without delay
It was true in the 1950s. Today, the path to the altar takes a certain time, dotted with doubts and sometimes unpleasant circumstances (economic crisis or simply the reluctance of one of the future spouses to marry young). Moreover, in Italy a young man can be a little over 40.
- Italian men are very expressive: they wave a lot and talk loudly
Not true: Some Italians are so modest that sometimes his soulmate may go crazy before she can even get a word out of her man.
- Italian men are creative and artistic
Unfortunately, this not true. In Italy, however, most men do not write poems, draw poorly and sing terribly.
- It is better to not trust an Italian man
Not true: Even the strong half of Italy knows what loyalty and reliability are. For example, they will never upset and betray their friends. But if you still doubt the account of your chosen one from Italy, it is better not to rush to trust him.
- Italian men are handsome, their character is hard, just like a great sense of humor
Not, girls, forget about the charming Marcello Mastroiani.
