How to see the other coin?
Need to take a trip to Italy for that?
Yes, I guess that would be the way Kwon, but it’s not very common for people visiting Italy to come to the North: the nicest places are in the South.
People from the North of Italy very rarely emigrated to other countries since the economic situation was always better than the South in any case.
This is the reason why usually (and in the US also) everybody get to know only the southern Italian guys (not that I have something against then, its’ just that we’re very different).
Think of the Italian man from the North as very similar to a German guy (but with far more sense of humor of course!)
