Shocking Things When First Coming To Italy

Italians often turn their heads and pass red lights while driving, have a habit of "rubber hour". Children can run freely in restaurants 1. Chorus of noise: This is probably the first thing foreigners complain about. Everyday life in Italy is an acoustic symphony with hordes of people gossiping, screaming, singing, playing, talking on the phone, or driving while honking loudly. There was also noise coming from a neighbor's house through the thin wall, from the television they were watching to the piano the kids were playing

. Complex meals: A traditional Italian meal usually contains at least 3 dishes. Appetizers (ofantipasti) including salami or mixed vegetables; starch (primi piatti) including gnocchi, risotto or pasta; the main dish (secondi piatti) is meat, with or without a side dish (contorno); Desserts (dolce) include tiramisu, panna cotta, gelato and drinks. It would be weird to eat pasta without meat or side dishes A different American breakfast: Italians don't eat eggs, ham, and bacon in the morning.



A typical Italian breakfast called prima colazione, or colazione for short, consists of a hot beverage such as latte, cappuccino, chocolate or black tea and bread, croissants, biscotti or pastries. People often eat breakfast at coffee shops and pastries before going to school or work. Hand speaking: The Italians feature hand gesture language. Watching them talk and express their feelings with each other by hand is a very enjoyable thing. This sign language was inherited from Greece when the Greeks arrived in southern Italy and dominated Naples. The Italians then used sign language to communicate without hearing or speaking. This gradually became the tradition of eating into the blood Family prominence: Italians are known for close family ties.



They love their children and take care of their aging parents. Children usually stay with their parents until they get married. Children are free to do whatever they like in public. In restaurants, they are free to run, scream, and throw things around without anyone complaining, because they belong to the family simply. Strict rules on generations do not exist in the culture of this land. Traffic chaos: When renting a car in Italy, you should make sure you can drive with crazy but firm drivers. They may cross their heads and pass red lights frequently. In the surveys, Italians are consistently ranked Europe's worst driver.



If you still decide to drive, memorize the saying: "Look ahead and let everyone look behind you", as this is how they survive on the road. Lack of private space: Italians lack or can say that they have absolutely no private space. They regard it as polite to stand close and hold a person's hand while talking. Hugging and kissing in public is perfectly normal. On public transport, they don't mind if you sit right next to them even if there is an empty seat elsewhere, or stand so close behind you that you can hear their breath. Stores close at noon: Shops in Italy may close between 12:30 and 15:30 to get home cooking and rest before reopening in the afternoon, especially in rural areas. In big cities there are restaurants serving lunch for people who do not have time to go home to cook food. Italian coffee: Forget about Starbucks coffee when drinking in bars.



Called a bar, but here do not sell alcoholic beverages. You go into the bar, find the cassa counter to pay, line up and order coffee. Then you can see lots of people standing and drinking coffee, and you get used to bringing coffee mugs to your favorite seats and sipping time-killing coffee. Both methods are fine, but you should bring money if you want to sit. In addition, Italians do not use the word espresso, but call it "un caffè", do not order cappuccino after 11am, and if you order coffee latte, you want a warm glass of milk. Living slowly: The Italians do everything slowly. Dinner can last up to 3 hours. It can be difficult to find a take-away fast food store unless you're in a touristy city.



Italians also have the habit of "rubber hours" in appointments, so it is normal for them to have an appointment with you and be late..
