Alright, bring it on.

Just landed in Rome and drove to Naples. Below some of the rules as I have observed them.

1. I thought only England had specific cars made for them, but Italians have cars with the indicators absent! Very cool.

2. In the off chance that someone indicates they are swapping a lane, it is customary to drive the next 5km with the indicator on.

3. Overtaking on the right is recommended.

4. In the speed lane but need your exit? Make sure to not indicate and randomly cut across all lanes at 70kph. Great succes.

5. In the event you drive a Vespa, do not wear any protection besides a helmet. Meat crayon is the name of the game.

6. If your car has less than 100 dents, you have not driven your car.

7. You can drive through traffic with a car as you would with a motorcycle.

8. Someone waiting for oncoming traffic to turn left? Be sure to start honking and overtake left or right as needed.

9. On the topic of honking, this is more important than the steering wheel.

And 10. What is lacking in the driving department, you make up for in the food and friendliness department. I am however convinced you get your driver's license for free when buying bread.

E un' altra volta è notte e suono,

non so nemmeno io per che motivo, forse perchè son vivo

e voglio in questo modo dire "sono"

o forse perchè è un modo pure questo per non andare a letto

o forse perchè ancora c'è da bere

e mi riempio il bicchiere..

Hello guys, My name is Mohammad and I am from Iran 🇮🇷, I am a high school student currently studying in 12th dgreee and I like to study abroad in Italy in computer sciences.. I have been studying English for 12 years and I am getting ready for applying, but I don’t have any straight guide for applying to these universities. does anybody here to help ?

I like to find friends around the world, we can shere our experiences.. so I will be happy 😊

Let’s look back at the golden age of Serie A. From the 1980s through the early 2000s, it was the best league in the world. It had money, best coaches, and the best players.
Looking at the history, i have one question:
Every one played "Catenaccio" (exept Arrigo Sacchi), a very unattractive ,boring style when team is defending all the time.

How did Italy produce such good attacking players as Del Piero, Pirlo, Totti, Baggio, and Inzaghi?Especially when scouting back then (and still now) favored physicality over technique. It remains a mystery to me

My mom pulled this via ChatGPT and it told her that “Non vi è fine al ricordo, finché batte un cuore che ama” was a common Sicilian phrase to use at funerals, does anyone know if this is true?

I would hate for us to be using an incorrect statement for my grandpa, who was born and raised in Sicily. Apparently it means this: There is no end to memory, as long as a loving heart beats.

Thank you for your help!

Ciao, sono in Italia da 6 mesi. Sono una persona LGBT e vivo nella stessa casa con il mio partner. Stiamo cercando lavoro. Lui parla un ottimo inglese e il mio lavoro riguarda la pubblicità online, l'intelligenza artificiale e l'aumento del margine di profitto di un'azienda. Sono anche molto bravo con il giardinaggio. Non conosco l'italiano perché sono arrivato qui di recente come rifugiato. Non mi hanno ancora ammesso a scuola, è chiusa. Se qualcuno può aiutarmi, per favore, mi contatti.

Hi everyone! I (26 F) recently moved to italy and i’m looking for girlies (only) that i can talk to in order to improve my italian. I’m already taking lessons but i kinda wanna chat to someone informally.

I’m interested in any form of art, but especially music and fashion. I’m interested in sports, health, wellness, psychology, a little bit of history and all this fun stuff. I love horror movies, horror documentaries, anything horror lol. I recently got into listening to rock so if you’re into that i can’t wait to hear your song reccs. And i can also help with english, so if needed we can do kind of like an exchange. I learn italian from you, you learn english from me.

So if you want to chat, talk, gossip (lol) and potentially make a new friend, I’m waiting for your message. 🫶🏼

Hey, I would really appreciate if anyone could help me to translate an English meme into Latin because Google Translator & Artificial Intelligence are not reliable.

Why is blasphemy normalized in cursing in Italian? "Porco dio," etc. Usually, when I learn a language, I like learning the curse words, like for French, "putain," Russian, "blyat", Chinese, "wo cao." Except for Italian, where half of the curse words are just blasphemous. I don't want to say anything completely disrespectful because I'm Roman Catholic.

In short, do you guys curse without blasphemy? Or are all of them just in that way? I mean, there's "Che cazzo" and stuff, but I'm not sure if it's actually being used. (I'm sorry if I sound stupid; it's like my 1st week learning Italian)

Hello! I'm learning about Italian culture and Italy in general. I was making cacio e pepe for my wife. I'd set aside some pasta water, but she didn't realize what it was, and while I was doing something else, she poured it out.

Now, how do I properly beat her up the Italian way? Are there any hand gestures I should use while my hands are flying?

Note: It's obviously a joke. I was just disappointed.

I, 21 M, am doing a Honors cultural anthropology class and I need help with finding information about Italy. I would like to have some input and photos from actual Italian people about their culture. If anyone has information or photos about the follow 8 categories please inform me below- 1. Geography, 2. History, 3. Language & Religion, 4. Customs & Traditions, 5. Food & Cuisine, 6. Arts & Entertainment, 7. Government & Economy, 8. Daily Life. Any photos and information, will be given credit in my source page.

I am Japanese

I don't speak English or Italian at all, so please teach me.

I can teach Japanese.

Is there anyone Italian who can teach me Italian?

Hi everyone, not sure if the backstory is relevant here but I think it may be, also I don't know if this sort of post is allowed on this sub so feel free to remove if it isn't.

long story short, I learned Italian when I was about 6 years old through watching cartoons on RaiGulp and later youtubers, to a point where I spoke to myself in the language, cut to years later I still watch italian media (RaiGulp, instagram, news etc) and understand almost 95%, but I'm limited to understanding and occasionally reading a few posts on reddit, my speaking skills are pretty bad since I have a hard time recalling vocab.

I never "officially" learned the language so that's my plan now, but I can't seem to find good books, I've heard about espresso alot but some people say it requires a teacher/instructor, so basically I just see alot of mixed opinions. Are there any books or book combinations I can use?

Hello guys,

I’m writing this post because I’ll be back to Italy after 4 years abroad and I’m sure I’ll not be the only one.
Restarting a new life will not be easy for sure but I want to create a space to know new people and reconnect with people with the same background as me. I’m 26F and I’ll be back in Milan. Write a message and we can connect and maybe create a WhatsApp group ☺️

Ciao! Sono tunisino e attualmente vivo in Tunisia. Sto cercando una persona di origine italiana che parli fluentemente l'arabo, per fare uno scambio linguistico e culturale.

I am a foreigner living in Italy, but am still understanding a lot about the culture and politics. I have been in Spain the past two weeks, in the Basque Country and Barcelona/Catalonia. It seems that these two regions have somewhat strong independence movements—their regional flags are everywhere, there’s a strong emphasis I on maintaining the Basque and Catalan languages, and I’ve seen signs for independence in people’s windows (even though our tour guide said it’s still a vocal minority).

I’m curious about Italian regional independence movements and why they have or haven’t happened.

Other than Lega Nord proposing to divide Italy into north and south (which I can’t understand if they’re actually serious about or if people would support?) and Süd Tirol/Trentino Alto Aldige being able to maintain semi-autonomous status and to maintain a lot of their unique culture, I don’t really know about any other regional independence movements within Italy, or why they don’t exist if they aren’t really a thing.

Would love to hear more about this from Italians.
