I'm an italian girl...I don't know if is only my sensation but I think that many powerfull countries consider Italy like a nice place with funny people but dishonest, frudolent and superficial.

Especially I think that Berlusconi don't like anyone (also to me!)


Isn't it?
What do you think about Italian people?
Who is, for you, the most famous italian person?

I don't know who Berlusconi is, but in America, everyone loves italy Smile
It's known for kind and exciting people, and GREAT food. When I think of Italy, I think of pasta, and singing waiters Razz

Well Cari, I'm no expert on your country, but I think the 'dishonest and fraudulent' steroetype might come from the Mafia. To be honest, I'm afraid that the few Italians I've met have all been very superficial (I hope you are not!). As for Berlusconi, I don't have strong views either way. (He's the Italian leader, Flying Pig!) Generally, I think people think of Italy as an historic country with great food and terrible drivers. I like Italian films - Life is Beautiful (Flying Pig, you have to see it!) and The Tiger and the Snow are my favourites.
