Kurzbeschreibung
La Dolce Vita
The Italians live life to the fullest, and do not feel in the least bit guilty leading a life of leisure and pleasure 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. This is what life is all about: Italians do not live to work, they work to live.
Achoo Brute?
The most common Italian illness is hypochondria. Italians are in general extremely healthy people who spend a great deal of their time thinking that they should feel healthier than they do.
A little truth goes a long way
Italians grow up knowing that they have to be economical with the truth. All other Italians are, so if they didn't play the game they would be at a serious disadvantage. They have to fabricate to keep one step ahead.
Always look on the bright side of life
Generally speaking, the Italians tend to look on the bright side of life—a positive outlook aptly illustrated by their touching salutation: “May the saddest days of your future be the happiest days of your past.”

An ironic look at a people's characteristics - To be taken with a grain of salt, but otherwise pretty much unmissable!
30. Januar 2011
Format:Taschenbuch
There are many truths here (I should know, I'm Italian :-), some baffling generalisations (coming from somebody who's written well after the 19th century, that is), but overall the book is nice, informative, fun, full of irony and stylish. I laughed out loud quite often, and I was saddened by some spot-on characterisation of our defects just as many times.

Pointing out most of the italians (bad) habits
15. Mai 2001
Format:Taschenbuch
This book points out most of the italians habits (both the bad and good ones) with respect to family, food, love affairs, etc., giving a good picture of the italian people in an objective, but funny, way. I am Italian and I must admit that most of the attitudes described in the book are real, even if, sometimes, they are a bit exaggerated. I suggest this book to the people who already visited Italy and, therefore, they can easily understand what is a caricature and what is real. Finally, the book can be read in just a couple of hours (I read it during a flight from Holland to Italy).

A funny small book, if you have sense of humor
3. Februar 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This (small) book is good and funny, albeit if you can go pass it's stereotypical nature. As a matter of fact, all the Xenophobe's Guide "series" are of the same theme. Besides the funny side of the book I found it instructive that, from my observations, the book is also about day to day believes that people have and/or act on.
