In Italy, there are many customs that we students should pay more attention to。Some students who came to Italy for the first time did not understand these customs and made a lot of jokes。Let's take a look at what these customs are。
First of all, in Italy, women are respected, especially in all kinds of social occasions, women everywhere priority。At the banquet, let the lady eat first, only the lady to move the knife and fork to eat, the gentlemen can eat。When entering or exiting the elevator, let the woman go first。
In Italy, if someone sneezes, the person next to them will say, "Salvi.!It means, "I wish you good health.!The reason is that Europeans are said to be very afraid of catching a cold, and in Europe, things have happened to death from severe colds, so people are especially careful not to catch a cold。If you have a little cold, I hope it will go away soon。In addition, sneezing or coughing in front of others is considered impolite and offensive, so you should immediately say "excuse me" to the person next to you.。
It is customary in Italy to bury the dead。There are cemeteries everywhere。The cemetery in the big city is very elegant, like a garden, with many beautiful carvings。
It is not uncommon to be late for dinner。Italians do not have a strong sense of time, especially when attending banquets, receptions and other activities, often late。It is not uncommon for them to arrive 15 or 20 minutes late。If they are too late, they will often say, "Sorry about the traffic。”
It is customary to plant grape branches in front of shops。Italy is a country rich in wine。Many small towns and even rural farmers make wine。In the past, some farmers had brewed a lot of wine at home, so they wanted to sell some。They hang the branches of grapes in front of their houses, and passers-by can tell that this house sells wine。Once the wine is sold out, the green branches are removed。This custom has continued to this day, and some shops still have grapes hanging in front of them。
Festivals in Italy
People who have business contacts with Italy will complain that there are too many festivals in Italy, and it is a festival at every turn, and no one can be found at every turn!In a word, you have to be patient with them。About one third of the days of the year in Italy are festivals。Some are religious festivals, some are folk traditional festivals, some are national anniversaries。The fact that there are more festivals is a reflection of the freedom and romantic nature of Italians, and it is also a testimony that Italians pay attention to tradition. At the same time, it also ensures that Italians can fully enjoy life and enrich life。
Especially in summer, people generally have summer holidays ranging from two weeks to one month。This is a good time for everyone to travel abroad, have a holiday by the seaside, and return to nature by the mountains and lakes。The city changed the hustle and bustle of the past and became quiet, and then the big city also had the quiet of a small town。It also gives the city a break, so to speak!When people rushed back to the city, the parks and squares were also lively, and people went to see open-air exhibitions, open-air movies, and sideshows......Organized activities are a good place for people to spend the summer。 Well, do you know how many holidays there are in Italy a year?122天。
Italians usually shake hands or simply say hello when they meet on the road, and address university graduates with their generic title。Business meetings should be arranged in advance, but not necessarily on time, because punctuality is not considered an Italian virtue in social activities。Italians are hospitable and if you are invited, you should not refuse. It would be impolite to do so。Lunch is the biggest meal of the day, usually lasting two to three hours, and it is common to exchange business gifts in Italy。Italians tend to talk about football, family affairs, business affairs and local news, avoiding American football and politics。One of the main features of the Italian diet is a variety of pasta such as scallion rolls, wontons, macaroni, fried rice, etc., as a dish, and not eat food, eat the famous Italian macaroni, do not eat the knife to cut the macaroni into small sections。Don't spoon powder into your mouth either。The most logical way is to roll the macaroni with a fork and eat it。In addition, it is worth mentioning that a very famous pasta in Italy - pizza。It is baked with fermented white noodles and topped with a filling, which is as common in Italy as churros and sesame flowers are in China。
In Italy, there are many other customs that need our attention。Students must pay attention and ask questions when they first arrive in Italy。Otherwise, it is not good to cause some unpleasant things because you do not pay attention。
