Similar to how in the U.S, there are labels for all the different parts of the country. The south has rednecks, the northerners have money, the Midwest is wholesome and full of nice people, the west coast are liberal hippies etc...most likely the same in every country.


Thank you for clarifying that and using the United States as an Example. I could care less what part you come from. I just can't stand Italians that try and act or promote that there SUPER ITALIAN!!

I mean bumper stickers, T-shirts.. " It's Gravy not sauce" my great grand mudda always said gravvy gtfoh lol Fucking bunch of wannabe reality tv stars certain places you go.


I agree so much. The jersey shore cast members and everything. Personally I enjoyed that show because I felt it was entertaining but in reality it was sickening. These guys were American not italian. If you were raised italian you know what being italian is. Those who try to boast seem to not know what being italian really is.
