I lived in Sicily for 2 years and found Sicilians and Italians to be great.
I took my bicycle from Sigonella to Caltagirone, stopped in a bike shop and was having a slightly more than difficult time expressing myself in Italian/Sicilian and the shop owner called a woman in off the street to help interpret. I was able to tell the woman... who was old enough to by my Mom... that I rode from Sigonella. I didn't understand everything she said, but what I could understand was that she wanted to take me home to feed me.... that she couldn't imagine that I didn't NEED to eat. How cool is that?
They "all" believe they are Mario Andretti, turning 2 lane country roads into 4 lane expressways (you real Italians know what I mean). Everyone thinks they have to be first when they are behind the wheel.
I think its cool that people get offended when you jump straight into business without the required pleasantries. At least "Good morning/afternoon/evening" then "how are you, how is your family"?
There is little you can't get away with as far as the Polizia or Caribinieri is concerned with a nice set of boobs and a short skirt.

I think we Italians pretty much got it going on. We are a passionate beautiful people, with some of the richest history in the world... And to top it all off, we also have the best soccer team in the world.

It wouldn't be fair to have one opinion about all Italian people (or about any national group as a whole). I don't think the same about Berlusconi than I think about his victims. And I don't buy stereotypes, if that's what I mean.

i find the italians from the north are a bit boring and too distant, whereas the ones form the south are more open, fun and approachable.
maybe i just met the wrong milanese..
why do you ask? are you italian?

Very tactful to win against the opposition and make the opposition a angry bull before the world.
