Also I didn't need to go "all the way to Italy" to investigate Italian stereotypes. It was just something I had fun writing while I was there. Now, the fun is done, and I've grown weary of comments on this post. Nice try at intelligent commentary, unfortunately you fail in that, I’m not American.

Despite the fact that French is also a Romance language, Italian and Spanish have a lot more in common. II speak Spanish and I can understand about 40-50% of what an Italian speaking person says. Anyway, stereotypes exist about all cultures and peoples. For instance, Americans are considered egocentric by almost every culture on Earth. The fact that James had to go all the way to Italy to either confirm or debunk Italian stereotypes speaks of the fact that it was impossible for him to do that in the good US of A. Why? I guess because all he knows about them comes by way from the Jersey Shore (note to James, the most famous of the bunch, Snooki, is not even Italian) or some Super Mario videogame.

As for the stereotypes, all the italian-stereotype bundle is based on (and came out because of) southern italians, period. Applying those to the whole Boot doesn't make any sense to me, still that's what everybody does everytime (it's understandable). Think about the whole stereotype list, that could only match the south of the country. lol'd @ eating pasta depending on moon phases and the wind's direction.
