Could You Be Italian? | Comments

I am also Italian, born and bread, and I ONLY scored 78%. I am Northern Italian, the region of La Serenissima, lived in the province of Rovigo, currently living in Verona, but also lived in Emilia Romagna. I just prefer volleyball and tennis to soccer and basketball (tennis being Italy's #4 sport, see the latest US Open final, Vinci-Pennetta anyone?? And I couldn't care about Italian fashion, esp. if misspelled (Prad?? Prada maybe). How about Benetton? Reds? Original Marines? Tezenis? Cavalli? Sachs? Max Mara? Just because YOU don't know it does't mean it's not BIG in Italy, ha ha ha ... Plus, Italians in Italy LOVE Levi's, Timberland, Carhartt, Vans, etc., and all sorts of FOREIGN brands! Also, Italians are CRAZY about CHEVIN, MAICOL, ETAN, GESSICA, GENNJ, SCIARIL, NAUEL, etc. etc. (Yep! Lovely Italian spelling for Anglo Saxon names. Try to sound them out: they SOUND like their US equivalent - just visit any Italian preschool or elementary! And pizza is eaten MAYBE once a month, if you are a young person, much less if you are an average adult. And for dinner, there is almost NEVER pasta! Too heavy! You need pasta in broth (a soup kind of thing) or another sort of soup). And frankly, I ate more spaghetti in two months in the US than in two years in my hometown, ha ha ha! He, we eat penne, pennette, fusilli, elicoidali, sedani, sedanini, ecc. ecc. Each type of pasta goes to its sauce... Can't plop spaghetti into everything ;)

Quiz doesn't mention HOW IMPORTANT family is in the Italian lifestyle. Quiz doesn't mention just HOW MANY Napolitano songs exst. Quiz doesn't mention any famous songs, sung by many a top star, eg. Volare, That's Amore (which by the way contains a famous Italian dish - Pasta e Fazule), Famous Opera Singer Mario Lanzo. Religious side not mentioned n how even today, many women still wear black for 6 months after losing a family relation. How beautiful the graves are maintained. How ornate are the ceilings in many churches. How many Saints are honoured. What about Pompei -its ruins, its chuwith corridors of piure frames giving thanks to Our Lady of Pompei for miracles received (actually that really is something to see-people have had their beauttete, theut noto frames with their story of what sadness came into their life but through their faith in Our Lady of Pompe- a miracle came and the hair was cut off in gratitude to The Blessed Virgin. What about The Pope. What about Italian Ice cream?. What about famous buildings- The Colosseum, The Trevi Fountain, The Leaning Tower of Pisa? Florence. What about the famousItalian dance The Tarantella. What about how Italians using their hands a lot as they speak. What about the famous volcanoes Mount Vesuvius, Mount Etna? Famous Monte Cassino. The Mafia. Gracie Fields Isle of Capri. The Italian Men- tall dark and handsome-Italian Stallions. Italian wine. Famous Sambucca, Amaretto di Saronna, Strega. Italian art-Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael. Great composers Puccini, Verdi, Vivaldi. Italian clown Grimaldi. Beautiful Italian pottery. Romance.Quiz was ok but you could have included so much more. Shall I go on? A little disappointing for THE TRUE ITALIANS- anyway Nice Try.
