Americans: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.

Italians: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing, and just being

RELIGION

        “Whether he goes to church or not,
            Catholicism is still part of
                    the Italian’s
       psyche in the same way as lungs or a
           kidney are part of his body.”
