Calabrese represent.

Come on man! At least add gnocchi to the foods in the OP. And some more on southern Italy! South Italy is best Italy. ~_~

I love Italy. Beautiful country with beautiful culture and history. I love your cars, fashion, women and especially your food ;) Pizza, lasagna, canellonni (i'm having this for lunch today :D). Fun fact is that the worst pizza I've ever eaten was in Italy, lol.

I was in Italy 3 years ago, Pisa, Florence and Rome tour, and it was great. Next should be Venice and Capri. Also, this place:

My great grandmother was an Italian so I could say I am also a little bit :) I can understand Italian, and I can speak it a little.

What does tutti mean in Italian? Curious for a very specific reason.

Also, don't know if many Italians know this, but the most powerful person in India is actually an Italian woman.

Tutti is everyone/everything.
In which context did you see that word?

Man I miss Italy. The food, the noise, the beautiful cities, the history, the buildings, the women...

I've only visited Tuscany though (Florence, Pisa, San Gimignano etc.). Breathtaking. Next time I'm going to visit Rome see the Colosseum, the Panteon, Vatican City etc. Italy really is worth visiting several times.

It's in the current thread title. It's from a movie I saw when I was a child. I don't remember the movie title but in a scene it said something like: "Voi italiani siete uguali, tutti pizza baffi neri e mandolino!" / "You Italians are all the same, everyone with pizza, black moustache and mandolin!"

It's the tipycal Italian stereotype.

Nice! I want to go visit my relatives in Italy one of these days, see if I can live there for a while to try and become better at the language too. OP totally forgot to list the Bugatti cars, c'mon son.

I want to say a big hello to ItaliaGaf.

My father and his side of the family originate from Caramanico Terme, Abruzzo. We have a house out there and there are still family around there, in Naples and in Rome.

I havent visited as often as I want out there, but the town and people are amazing, just like most of the country.

Forza Italia!
