Gotta couple questions;

How popular is pasta in your country? Is it daily staple?

Does the Vatican have a large influence on you/ your country?

Gotta couple questions;

How popular is pasta in your country? Is it daily staple?

depends on where u live and how much u care about your weight, in north italy pasta is almost replaced by a sort of purea called polenta made with mais flour
if i could i will eat pasta breakfast lunch and dinner but i do it one time or two/week, in general u will eat pasta at least one time at day, if u don't eat pasta it means u eat pizza or even better, u eat lasagna or cannelloni or tortellini or gnocchi

Does the Vatican have a large influence on you/ your country?

i'm not christian so no, i also refuse to celebrate any sort of christian holiday
we got a sort of legalization of "light" weed in 2017 (with stores selling weed), civil union for homosexuals in 2016 (i think?) in the past very limited (indirectly ofc) by vatican
no idea about adoption for homosexual couples since is a lot case by case but it is possible, same for euthanasia

What is your favorite Italian city and why?

Quote
Grape Festival (Italian: Sagra dell'uva): Every 1st Sunday of October. This festival is very famous in the surrounding area because, for about one hour, some of the city's fountains spill wine instead of water, recalling the memory of the old vintage and the historical event of the return to Marino of Marcantonio Colonna with 260 "Marinesi" from the Battle of Lepanto (7 October 1571).

I realize this might open up a giant can of worms, but I voted Italian interview just to ask this question.

How would you compare the presidency of Donald Trump to Silvio Berlusconi's time as Italian prime minister?  I don't know a lot about Italian politics, but being Canadian, I see US politics on TV all the time, and from my comfy armchair it seems like they share a fair amount in common.

Ah, Italy. I have a few questions.

- What is your experience with volcanic activity, eruptions? Have you been near lava? Which volcano is the closest to you?
- What type of car would you like to own, or own already? What cars are popular in your area? (I would especially like to hear SpikeSpiegel's answer if he reads this, but I'm curious about other answers too.)
- If the Coliseum still housed gladiator fights, would you be interested?
- Is it true that most italians use exaggerated gestures when arguing IRL?
- Favorite pizza?
And we keep driving into the night
It's a late goodbye, such a late goodbye...

Any good wine recommendations for someone who loves rosé but dislikes white wine?

u should find easily lambrusco, it has a little more body than rosè and it is naturally sparkling (and there are even artificially sparkling version to be consumed during happy hour or brunch)
if u will ever find it imported, try this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragolino more than a wine is a drug

How would you compare the presidency of Donald Trump to Silvio Berlusconi's time as Italian prime minister?  I don't know a lot about Italian politics, but being Canadian, I see US politics on TV all the time, and from my comfy armchair it seems like they share a fair amount in common.

they are both racist and have fake hairs so yes they have a lot in common
berlusconi started from the bottom or at least, he was born in a middle class family; when he decided to enter in politic he also started from the bottom and for a lot of time he was simply the friend of another important politician, bettino craxi
in the beginning he was a socialist, but when he started is politcal party he changed to something very similar to what is a republican in usa

about the presidency is hard to think trump will do all the bullshit berlusconi did, i quickly checked the english wikipedia page but i didn't find all the laws he did only for cover himself, it is shortly covered here

Quote
Economic conflicts of interest
According to journalists Marco Travaglio and Enzo Biagi, Berlusconi entered politics to save his companies from bankruptcy and himself from convictions.[240] From the very beginning he said it clearly to his associates. Berlusconi's supporters hailed him as the "novus homo", an outsider who was going to bring a new efficiency to the public bureaucracy and reform the state from top to bottom.

Berlusconi was investigated for forty different inquests in less than two years.[241]

− Berlusconi's governments passed laws that shortened statutory terms for tax fraud. Romano Prodi, who defeated Berlusconi in 2006, claimed that these were ad personam laws, meant to solve Berlusconi's problems and defend his interests.

there are a lot more things but even the english wikipedia only report italian articles

Ah, Italy. I have a few questions.

- What is your experience with volcanic activity, eruptions? Have you been near lava? Which volcano is the closest to you?

i only have 2 vulcanic lakes near my town:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Nemi
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Albano

- What type of car would you like to own, or own already? What cars are popular in your area? (I would especially like to hear SpikeSpiegel's answer if he reads this, but I'm curious about other answers too.)

i never liked cars, i prefer waste money on other things, for now i only bought used cars
about popular cars, depends on your social class or what social class u pretend u want to be in, any car that cost over 20k € make u look "different"

- Is it true that most italians use exaggerated gestures when arguing IRL?

it is more a meme, but yes we are a little bit psychopath

Quote
- Favorite pizza?

any pizza without meat or fish

 

anything
