I'm italian
I'm shocked reading what that they have written before me
Italian greasy? American people are fat!
Obesity in Italy isn't a problem, because our diet is milion times better than in USA
Large Families? In Italy there is one son for family on average, it's the nation with the less birth rate in europe
Catholic? yes, in italy we are mainly catholic
but my nation was born after many wars against Pope, and we aren't puritan as in many parts of USA
Violent, Criminals? the number of homicides, thefts, etc. is not comparable with your nation, because in italy there is more safety
Do you understand that italian americans who lived from generations in USA are not ITALIANS? Italy is another thing!
Pizza? Have you ever eaten a real italian pizza? I don' t think so!

For Italian football/soccer players, I know that the stereotype is that they dive and cheat, despite the reality being that every team has its own cheaters.
In general, Italians are supposedly romantic, passionate lovers.
Anti-Italians believe that they are all related to the Mafia, as violent criminals. The "guido" is the lazy Italian man at a lower social class. The Wikipedia article has some more examples of stereotypes, but I thought they could be quite sensitive:

Well, there's the mafia thing, there's the thing where they are loud mouths, the thing that their hair is greasy, and the thing where the men are supposed to be well endowed.
I've been to Italy, and there, they are just a quiet normal people.
In america they always seem to be shouting. I think many of them latch onto the stereotype as an identity. They think it's cool.

They wave their hands when they talk, yell often, wear nice clothes, and the men are very forward.
