do Italians talk loudly and gesture a lot like they say? Is there any Italian stereotype you hate bc it's just not true?
Hmm well yes some of us talk loudly (especially youngers at night gdohlahclhsc) and gesture a lot. I think gestures do help us in our communication: we may even have a whole conversation only through gestures (check this video. It's a bit of an exaggeration cause probably we may whisper something here and there, but it toally works. I understand it all anyway -and you can read the subtitles of the whole convo at the end of the video, but if you have questions please send an ask)
The stereotype I hate the most is the one about mafia. We're not that, and abroad there's a wrong understanding of what it actually is. Another stereotype that I don't appreciate much is probably about us not being really hardworking but just enjoying "la bella vita" and always being late, but that again it's not true: we're hardworking and we like to party/relax when we can; and yes we may be late but it can happen to anyone in the world. I don't think that these facts can strictly relate only to our Nation, they seem just worldwide to me.
Thanks for asking!

Hi! Can you please tell me what are internet sites where I can buy second-hand items? In particular, I'm searching for a bike that I can buy from someone in the region of Rome. Thank you!!
Ebay, Subito.it are probably the most common, I'm not aware of many others... if some followers are, feel free to add them! Also going on Facebook and searching for specif area/item group markets may help you as well?
You can check this link too!
