do italians and jewish people both have big noses? or is it just the Jewish

Probably because both of them are caucasoids and have ancestors that breathed in a meditteranean climate. The difference is the Jewish nose is hooked although both noses are big. The Italian nose is more of a classic Roman nose which is sometimes humped not hooked.

Someone once did a study on whether Jews in fact do have the steriotypical "Jewish nose." It was found that - generally - they do not.
The large hooked nose became a "Jewish feature" because it has a satanic appearance. Old Christian art, which sometimes contained antisemitic motifs, portrayed Jews as Satanic in appearance - thus the "Jewish nose."

I'm Italian and everybody in my family has big noses (including me). I hate it, but I love being Italian.

Both, the difference is that Jewish food tastes bad and is good for you. Where in Italian food tastes good and is bad for you.

It's both because they originated from some of the same people.
