    Italians like to use body language to express their emotions. When they speak, they will certainly cooperate with gestures, and their faces will also cooperate with rich expressions. Their gestures have their own unique meanings, and even constitute a unique Italian gesture dictionary, so there is such a saying that to stop an Italian talking just block his/her hands.

    The joke shows that body language is a very important part of Italian life, that is a phenomenon peculiar to Italian culture. When ltalians talk about with others,they always like using their hands to show what they want to express. On the one hand, I think it is because of the romantic and enthusiastic personality of Italians, which helps them to better express their emotions. On the other hand, The effect of body language is more intuitive. Maybe the words are the same, but the meanings expressed are different. Hand  gestures helps Italians more accurately and clearly express themselves.

    During the colonial period of ancient Greece, there were a large number of foreigners living in Italy, who had all kinds of languages and could not communicate easily. They simply invented a set of gestures to facilitate communication. Probably laid the foundation for the Italian preference for gesturing while talking. Italians are uninhibited by nature, and people from the old to the young are used to  gesturing while communicating. Even if we know the basic gestures, we can communicate in Italy without speaking Italian.

    Italians use body language constantly when they speak.

    Italians use a lot of body language when they speak, in order to make their better words better understood. Italian people love to use gestures dating back to the ancient Greek colonial period. Because of the large number of Italian immigrants, for the convenience of communication, they also made a regular gesture communication system. At one time, Italians wanted to list gestures as one of the necessary courses to take in Italian. This is because gesture language is essential in their communication. Italians are very enthusiastic, very contagious, and the love of sign language also shows this.

    Italians always use body language when communicating with people. According to statistics, Italians often use more than 250 accurate gestures in daily life. The number of gestures is basically the same as the number of words. Italians think that body language can convey the true feelings more than voice, while those who don't like to talk and gesture are considered to be serious and indifferent people who are not easy to get close to. These various gestures reflect the open and enthusiastic character of Italians.
