Ask an Italian anything

[TomSchmo]

My family moved to the US from Italy a few generations ago.
Can i still be considered Italian?

 

[D_Coyne Toss]

As long as our beloved country is deep in your heart, yes.

Oh it deffinitely is, and i'm proud of having italian blood in me too :biggrin1:

I was in Italy about a year ago, and I have to admit that Italian men are the most handsome in the world. Why is that? :tongue:

 

[justmeincal]

I've spent quite a bit of time in Italy, but have never been to the Lake Country. Have you? It looks very beautiful in pictures.

 

[D_Coyne Toss]

Newreba, I am not good at judging male beauty, but what I can tell you is that Italians are a blend of Greek, Pre-Roman, Latin, Frank, Longobard, Spanish, French, Norman, Arab, Jewish, Turkish and German. In some areas also Slovene, Serbian, Croatian, Albanian. Maybe that's why we have such different looks.

Justmeincal, i know very well Lake Garda, Lake Maggiore and to a lesser extent Lake Como. Defenetely worth a visit!.

Do you ever get tired of women throwing themselves at you for sex?

Now I am married and so I am out of the market.

As a single, actually, I wasn't that popular, the only girl I had sex with now is my wife. I didn't advertise any hidden treasure. Was it a mistake?

 

[TurkeyWithaSunburn]

Is cazzo slang for dick/cock or does it mean penis?

 

[D_Coyne Toss]

Cazzo or Uccello (litterally "bird") are the equivalent of cock or dick.

Pene is penis.

I guess I really should start some Italian classes here: would you members like it?

 

[BJH]

Ever been to America and if so, what did you think of it?

Ahhhh, this explains Old Blue Eyes always asking his boys how their "birds" were doing! LOL!

Are all Italians inclined towards talent in the arts?

Etplayer, cossa ti fa qua?

Varda, mi serviva aiuto per una cosuccia che volevo fare, e dopo mi son fatto prendere e sono restato e tu? :tongue:

 

[D_Coyne Toss]

BHJ: I went several times to America. A great country, be proud of it. Your flag always stands for freedom, ad many of you died also to grant us the freedom we now enjoy. I deeply respect you.
NYC is lovable, you can find everything there. And Frisco is just wonderful. Boston makes we Europeans feel at home.

Naughty, no, not all of us. I can't paint at all, nor draw. I do sing, however, and cook, which in Italy is a form of art.

Etplayer, cercavo info e poi sono rimasto.

 

[MASSIVEPKGO_CHUCK]

you know that pasta actually came from china right?

 

[D_Coyne Toss]

Sure I do: chinese noodles.

What Italians did was to use a special wheat (grano duro we call it) and to use our own seasoning.

Since singing is an art to itself you are on your way to making a stereotype grounded in reality! :biggrin1:

 

[prepstudinsc]

Every Italian I know sings. Not always professionally, not always good, but Italians have music in their blood, so they let it out through the voice.

 

[D_Jared Padalicki]

Okey, my question is: Ever been in Sicily? So yes, how is it, what should I visit there?

Cheers!

 

[D_Coyne Toss]

Naughty, I try my best, I really love singing, when I sing I try to melt in the words I sing, sometimes I even feel I am about to cry.

Prepstudinsc: many of us do, but more in the south. Anyway when Italians are in group, they really often sing all together.

Peterjoke, I know Sicily very well. One needs a book, not a post to describe the beauties of this pearl of Mediterranean sea. What would you like to visit? Art cities, countryside, sea, small islands, mountain? Ask aything, I would be glad to be helpful. Don't forget Sicilian cusine, just great.
