Explore the language of Italian gestures, an integral part of the culture, to better understand daily interactions.
Italians love to talk with their hands – in fact we use almost 250 gestures in daily conversation. When we talk, we move our hands in the air, making distinctive signs, our faces take on strange and amusing expressions and our bodies make strange contortions.
A shrug of the shoulders or the raising of an eyebrow can say more than a thousand words.
In order to help you to understand what goes on in a crowded Italian square or when you find yourself among Italians, we will illustrate the most commonly used gestures, in a way that will help you to enjoy using this other ‘Italian language’.
