Italians have an expression, bella figura, which means the ability to conduct oneself with dignity, pride and confidence in public. Be aware that everyone is noticing you and your behavior and judgments are being made.
Lining up is not often conducted with aplomb. Expect line-jumping and pushing ahead.
Expressions:
- Rubbing your chin with your fingers and then flicking them forward is an expression of anger or frustration.
- Placing your hand on your stomach and making a face means you dislike someone or something.
Chewing gum is considered vulgar.
Don’t expect non-smoking section of public places to be respected. Smoking happens everywhere – no matter the rules.
It's Apropos!
