However, there are some striking similarities in habits which unite the citizens of this very regional county. What makes an Italian an Italian, you ask?

Wake up, hop in the shower, and begin thinking about what you are going to eat that day. Perhaps ask your spouse, parent, roommate, person walking by on the street, or the cat what they think about eating for dinner. Have a 20 minute discussion on this topic. Take a glance at <em>Corriere della Sera <\/em>for latest news and <em>Gazzetta dello Sport <\/em>for last nights soccer scores, which you already know. Eat a light breakfast of <em>biscotti<\/em> and tea (OPTIONAL) before heading to the local coffee bar for an espresso (MANDATORY).<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle;\">\n<li>Note: <a title=\"How to Not Look Like a Tourist in Italy\" href=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/travel-tips\/how-to-not-look-like-a-tourist-in-italy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Italians are not heavy breakfast eaters<\/a>. Eggs, sausage and toast for breakfast utterly perplexes Italians. Sure, they eat scrambled eggs, but they come in the form of a <em>frittata<\/em>, served at lunch or dinner. The idea of eggs at breakfast baffles them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>8:33 am<\/h2>\n<p>Hop into your Smart Car or onto your Vespa and head in the general direction of work.<\/p>\n<h2>8:37 am<\/h2>\n<p>Park in the spot absolutely nearest to the coffee bar nearest to your work. Whether or not you are double parking and locking someone else in\u00a0will be debated &#8211; between you and the owner of the car that was in your way.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle;\">\n<li>Note: Parking spots located far away from the final destination are not only undesirable, they are not an option for many Italians. The process begins circling in search of the perfect <em>posto<\/em>, followed by the necessary curses that there is not one. This continues with a quick calculation of how long the driver versus the owner of the parked car will <em>really <\/em>be staying in the bar, which inevitably comes out to \u201cless time.\u201d This is proceeded by a completely validated and perfectly logical double or even triple parking. Italians are the masters of logic, most notably of their own.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>8:42 am<\/h2>\n<p>Order a <em>caff\u00e8<\/em>, aka an espresso, and a <em>cornetto<\/em> whilst standing at the bar. Note the tourists, all of whom are sitting at the tables, chatting and slowly drinking their <em>cappuccini<\/em>, and the Italians, all of whom are standing beside you with identical orders to your own. Drink your espresso in one or two gulps while holding your <em>cornetto<\/em> with the other hand. Participate in local gossip or discussion about the latest news. Mention <a title=\"Regaleali Cooking Lesson in Sicily\" href=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/festivals-events\/5_easter_buzzwords\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">what you will have for lunch or dinner<\/a> and how your aunt\/cousin\/wife\/sister\/<em>nonna<\/em> is the best at making it. Leave your cup on the counter and pay the <em>barista<\/em>.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle;\">\n<li>Note: In most traditional bars (coffee bars, that is), the customer pays after consuming whatever he or she ordered. Also note that espresso in Italy is simple <em>caff\u00e8, <\/em>and drip coffee is usually frowned upon. If you can appreciate a good espresso but miss your coffee, as does the author of this blog every time she goes to Italy, bring your own machine. This may or may not be frowned upon, but then again, the author also knows several Italians who have brought their own <a title=\"The Secret\u2019s in the Pot: Italian Coffee Revealed\" href=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/food-wine\/moka-usesecrets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>caff\u00e8<\/em>-making\u00a0moka<\/a>\u00a0and hotplate to use in their American hotel room on a weeklong Chicago vacation.

Luckily, that jerk is also leaving for lunch (as is the rest of the \u00a0city\u2019s population), so quickly forget your frustration and head home.<\/p>\n<h2>1:15 pm<\/h2>\n<p>Sit down to lunch with your family, most of who came home from the same office. Talk about what you are going to have for dinner tomorrow over lunch (dinner for today is obviously already decided). Have a heated discussion with much gesticulation about an issue on which you all take the same side, but also all agree that there is no fun in that.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle;\">\n<li>Note: Some Italians work through lunch these days, but traditionally, lunch is a <em>primo<\/em>, or first course, of pasta\/rice\/starch, followed by a <em>secondo<\/em>, or second course, of protein and a <em>contorno<\/em>, or vegetable dish. Bread is present for all of these courses but usually only eaten with the <em>contorno <\/em>or a saucy protein. Table wine is <em>also<\/em> present throughout but rarely drank in tall-stemmed glasses; rather, it is drank is stemless juice glasses (it is a juice, after all). Bread and pasta hardly mix unless, of course, you want to <em>fare la scarpetta<\/em> and wipe your plate clean of <em>nonna\u2019s<\/em> delectable sauce. After the lunch plates are cleared, the basket of fruit comes out and apples, pears, nectarine, grapes, or oranges are eaten <em>with a fork. <\/em>Italians don\u2019t eat fruit with their hands, and they rarely eat the peel, which is removed with their fork and knife. If the occasion is special, a small sweet will be offered and coffee served.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2:45 pm<\/h2>\n<p>If you didn\u2019t get <em>caff\u00e8<\/em> at home, stop for your mid-day espresso before returning to work (catch up on the last 5 hours of gossip and news).<\/p>\n<h2>3:00 pm &#8211; 6:00 pm<\/h2>\n<p>Return to work and continue doing what you do until 6:00 pm. Shut the phones and your computer down promptly at 6:00 pm, whether or not you leave.<\/p>\n<h2>6:00 pm<\/h2>\n<p>Head to the town center for your evening <em>passeggiata<\/em>, a tradition across Italy in which families, friends, children, and acquaintances stroll through the streets in the center of the town. You are dressed in your finest, as you are every evening, since you never know who it is that you will see and absolutely must impress with your <em>bella figura<\/em>.

Dinner can be one of a number of options: another dish of pasta, seafood cooked lightly in the pan with EVOO-dressed salad, or a breaded piece of chicken with fennel. Generally, this meal is lighter, and also involves the local wine, of which you will have a glass. \u00a0Dinner could take more of the form of lunch, if it is a special occasion.<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: circle;\">\n<li>Note: The further south you go, the later dinnertime gets. If you are in the north, you might eat at 7:00 pm. If you are in Sicily, you might eat at 11:00 pm (and probably not even be hungry until 10:15 due to the enormous lunch you ate). Italians also have different definitions of \u201clight\u201d than Americans. The author was once told that a cucumber was \u201ctoo heavy\u201d for an Italian to have at lunch, as was an egg-white omelet for breakfast. Both of these comments were made as the interlocutor was eating an entire pizza margherita for a their version of a \u201clight\u201d dinner.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>10:00 pm<\/h2>\n<p>Hang out, chat, read the newspaper, talk about the meals for tomorrow, paint your nails, or <a title=\"The Truth about Italian and American Soccer Fans\" href=\"https:\/\/selectitaly.com\/blog\/all-you-can-italy\/calcio-italiano-vs-american-soccer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">continue the never-ending <em>calcio <\/em>debate<\/a> you continue to have with your co-habitant, and generally enjoy yourself with some \u201cme\u201d time.
