WHEN YOU THINK OF ITALY, WHAT COMES TO MIND?
Many people think of the famous Italian four F’s: food, family, friends, and fashion. All of these play a major role in the culture of Italy.
Food is an integral part of Italian life and culture. Tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese are featured prominently in many Italian foods. The form of pizza we’re familiar with today originated in Naples, Italy.
Family is another important component of the Italian culture. La famiglia is the bedrock of the Italian culture. The pride of being Italian is passed on fromgeneration to generation.
When it comes to friends, the table is always open for another to join. Friendship and loyalty are true values among the Italian culture. Conversation and coffee go hand in hand, so this must be why the espresso machine hails from Italy.
And finally, what would the fashion world be without Italian designers? The world watches Milan to feast its eyes on the upcoming trends of top designers. Truly one of the fashion capitals of the world, Milan seasonally produces some of the hottest fashion lines anywhere in the world.
As you experience the adventure of Italy, sit back,
relax, and enjoy the four basic F’s of Italian culture.
