The Italians are so nice, the best pizza I've eaten in Milan, the sun is always up to you, certain that Baggio was a good player, in Naples they stole the bag but beautiful city, the sea in Sardinia is very beautiful, but never like Cucinotta. Ah, as they say ... buònassérra Seniora ? Here, briefly described the cultural baggage that is readily exhibited by Europeans during a conversation with an Italian, whatever their nationality or social background. In this nice potpourri of folklore, plus the colorful details well known to the Dutch, about the characteristics habits of young Italian tourists in Amsterdam, famous for demonstrations of civilization such as vomit everywhere, smoke to pass out on the street, or do so much confusion to distinguish in a tree as wide as the Arno, all with a mastery of English mercataio township. I think my discomfort is understandable when I was to represent for all my interlocutors this picturesque character, and I think they are even more understandable efforts to stand out as much as possible from it, and the Italians in general.
On the other hand, how can you be proud to have had your birth in Italy, when you are working abroad and your colleagues ask you candidly why should continue to govern Berlusconi, despite never having met a single person to say that voting for him? I'll tell you the following: Two nights ago I was having dinner with two Dutch friends, and eat before I run, surf the web, in the movie that sees our president worker joking with his trademark look from Tombeur de femmes with a ' attractive fencing athlete, in the living room of Bruno Vespa (excuse the term). At that point, I venture into the labyrinth of the English language trying a faithful translation for my curious friends, who also fail to understand the meaning of these images. Despite my efforts abroad, could not understand what the Italian prime minister has to do with an athlete, let alone their affectionate exchange of words from Sports Bar, in addition to a TV lounge where you should talk about politics. For them, used to expel from parliament for political racism fine, for having said that legal immigration should be limited, too much to understand. I soon realized that it was better to turn the discourse on design.
Just to support my words with concrete examples of what is received outside of our culture and our savoir faire , I think is sufficient to show a video, alas, almost unknown in Italy, which shows once again our President workers grappling with the European Parliament, in a historic diplomatic incident briefly described to us by the Italian press as a minor squabble. If you have ten minutes available you can skip to the last minute to see the full parliament who calls our pompous president invoking the exit from the floor. If you're with a critical spirit, culture and human dignity if possible, maybe if you go directly to another.
