The Italian culture is an amazing culture. The Italians have great table manners. Here are some-
. Remain standing until invited to sit down. You may be shown to a particular seat. . Table manners are Continental -- the fork is held in the left hand and the knife in the right while eating. . Follow the lead of the hostess - she sits at the table first, starts eating first, and is the first to get up at the end of the meal. . The host gives the first toast. . An honoured guest should return the toast later in the meal. . Women may offer a toast. . Always take a small amount at first so you can be cajoled into accepting a second helping. . Do not keep your hands in your lap during the meal; however, do not rest your elbows on the table either. . It is acceptable to leave a small amount of food on your plate. . Pick up cheese with your knife rather than your fingers. . If you do not want more wine, leave your wineglass nearly full. The Italians have strict rules when it come down to eating! I think that pretty great from what i have seen at some tables i think a lot of people could use these table manners! In Italy you must be up to par first impressions means everything to them.The way you dress. a good image are really important to Italians.You will be judged on if you have good clothes good shoes and you carry yourself in a mannerly way. The primary relgion is catholic in Italy, they have more catholic churchs than any other country. I hav learned that the italian culutre is way more diffrent then, the Americsn culture.
