Italian is one of the most charming and romantic languages on Earth, but it’s common knowledge that real Italians talk more with their hands than their words. It’s a trait often thought to reflect the passionate ways of the world’s southern cultures. Here’s a quick lesson that will carry you through Rome, Venice, and beyond.
If you’d like to learn even more Italian gestures, this crash course presented by a few dreamy Dolce & Gabbana models will get you headed in the right direction. Mamma mia!
In case you were wondering, mi scusi jokes are completely welcome in the comments.

Basically, you said "what the f**k" to every monument you visited and to every spritz you drunk.
Silvio, you're so right, and I am wondering how many stereotypes we use with other culture that don't mean s**t to the actual ppl of those cultures.

although it is slightly offensive to The Italian culture, I do find that this person just went to italy and asked a bunch of inanimate objects "WHAT DO YOU WANT?"
Non e' mica Vera! There are many other uses of hand signals- this person would lose any Italian argument HANDS DOWN! :-p
I`m English so I would be interested in the view point of real Italians but this post seems a bit racist to me certainly stereotypical. Its like having a load of pictures of beautiful English buildings and a shot of somebody drinking tea in all of them.
As an Italian I confirm this post is stupid and stereotypical. That gesture belongs to previous generations, and only a certain kind of ppl

I grew up watching calcio, so the first that comes to mind right now, is the very hand gesture that players are making every time they complain to the arbitro. I'd always thought that it was an accusation of the refs being bribed.
