Italy culture

Imagen
Click here to watch my presentation!!  Italy is home to the epicentre of the Roman Empire, the hub of Catholicism and the birthplace of the Renaissance. It has a rich heritage in art, history, religion, cuisine, architecture and fashion. These cultural legacies have been deeply influential in defining Western cultural tradition. They continue to be romanticised across the globe, so much so that it can be hard for people to stop recalling clichéd ideas of Italians. Nevertheless, as one of the top 10 exporters in the world, Italy greatly benefits from its cultural products. Indeed, they have become a huge economic asset for the country. Italians have successfully subverted their national stereotypes into proud virtues. Italians themselves are commonly known for being flexible, confident and charming people. Their playful and lively communication style often gives Australians the impression that they are enthusiastic and appreciative of what life has to offer.

Our whole being is influenced by the culture that has been transmitted to us. A culture is more than a series of typical elements. Such as dress, food, or physical appearance it is also a complete view of the world.🌎👀 In Mexico, there are 68 indigenous people.
