Also cursing is an essential part of good gesticulating. Ranging from ostia Madonna to porca putana, to dio cane porco dio.
It is mostly a southern thing, which might be the reason it is so well known in the US. Southern Italians gesticulate way more than their Northern counterparts. As we like to say, they tend to talk a lot.
Of course, they are. Only the paupers emigrated. That is why mostly people from the south left. The north was always richer, so less emigrated. It is also the reason why Italian American culture is mostly southern in nature with few northern elements.
But that is not politically correct any more. So the term is avoided. But it is what everyone thinks. Beneath Rome the civilised Italy ends.
I don't know what to say. Time to call upon my mother's side of the family, King Henry the 8th and Charlamagne.
I... Don't have one of those. I just have the Trombalini name. I'll get a crest eventually. Just need the money to do so.
