What’s the first thing that comes to  your mind when you think of Italians? They dress well: yeah, sure. They know how to cook! True, true. 

They are passionate: there we go, we’re getting close to the point. Imagine — or reminisce about— an Italian friend passionately discussing about something and, no shadow of a doubt, you’ll picture them vehemently moving their hands and arms around to underline every word and every sentence.
