Italian hand gesturesWhat would Italians be without their hand gestures? The answer is simple, but not obvious: if someone were to stop Italians from gesticulating, Italians... would find another, creative way to give colour to their words. Yes, because for Italians hand gestures stem from a need to emphasize their words; a deep need to communicate an infinite range of the small nuances of meaning that words alone often fail to carry. Can you learn Italian hand gestures? No you cannot, but hand gestures can become natural for everyone by immersing yourself in the passion for communicating that makes Italians sociable and ready to make friends.

Italian foodIf the Mediterranean diet is now known across the world, there are facets of Italian cuisine that you can only discover in Italy. It is the cuisine of the taste secrets that each family keeps and shares only with its guests, such as yourself. They are secrets that make every recipe, every dish something unique, unrepeatable and perhaps a little bit magic. Such as "QB". Ever heard of it? "QB" (Quanto Basta) means just the right amount of ingredients that cannot be measured but that come from the intuition of the cook. To discover how to handle "QB" you have to forget the recipe for a second and rather feel the humidity in the air, taste the aromas, imagine the dish you are preparing, and know the preferences of the people who will be at your table... Everyone can discover the secrets of "QB", even you.

Soccer in ItalyWithout meaning any disrespect to religious feelings, it can be said that in Italy, soccer is a true “religion”. Yes, because more than a sport, soccer is an intense passion for Italians. A team, its colours, its heroes on the field, its history, the eternal arguments with the referees, cheering the team together, playing soccer anywhere - basically as soon as you can walk - is all part of being Italian.
