What Italians Will Never Do:
The Unwritten Rules of Italian Life

Some things are simply not done by Italians.In fact, some of the things YOU do on a daily basis may be considered dangerous by Italians.

Okay, so what are these things? Well, before I get onto the list, I'd like to mention a few false myths that need to be dispelled:

Killing off those stereotypical myths about Italians...

The List: 9 Things Italians Don't Do

1. Cheese on seafood doesn't work for Italians, and neither does pineapple on pizza.
2. Sitting in a draft is something to avoid at all costs, especially when eating. It can have severe consequences for one's digestion.
3. Never swim straight after eating. It will cause what Italians call a "congestion," where the vital processes of digestion are somehow blocked by the water, causing a serious risk to digestion.
4. Going out with wet hair. This is something my Anglo husband did before we married; my family was horrified. Couldn't understand how he had survived so long. He still hasn't learned yet but is getting better. The horrified looks he gets on the street, each time he forgets, help keep him in line.
5. Eating spaghetti out of a can (tin in England)—another sin my husband frequently committed before we married. Nobody at his work in Turin would even believe him when he told them it existed... until he brought a tin to work. The shock, the pain on their faces. The can was sent to the Italian museum of unspeakable horrors. 
6. Do you enjoy a cappuccino with your dinner? Well, Italians don't and would be horrified to learn that people actually drink cappuccinos while eating dinner. Cappuccino is drunk in the morning—maybe with a pastry, croissant, or biscuit. That's it. With dinner, rather try some wine or water and have an espresso afterwards. Coffee also isn't drunk on the go, out of an enormous cup, or while driving, and if you want a "latte," Italians will give you a glass of milk.
