I was once in the office of an Italian manager while he was on the phone, it was brilliant because he didn’t stop gesticulating with his hands the entire conversation in an every animated way, even though the caller couldn’t see him. I understood how ingrained it was as part of the culture then. He used to keep his hands in his heart when giving presentations to European audiences, and I was told by my Italian friend that it was to prevent him using his hands as it was understood that Northern Europeans don’t understand them!

In fact in Ancient Rome and throughout the Italy most Italians didn’t speak Classical Latin and could barely understand each other when they travelled, so the body language was vital for communicating within Italy and natives, never mind those from the wider Roman Empire and further afield

Instead we’re inundated with adverts from every angle. Working class women still seem to shout very loud but it’s rarely offering you something you’d want. Mind you, Middle class Karen’s are even worse
