Italians do not understand our desire to build a mansion with money earned in Italy
We are always interested in how we are perceived abroad and how our mentality differs from that of the Spaniards or the French. But most of all, our people are related to sunny Italy. Two decades ago, this massive boom began. Italian. And ten years later, almost entire Italian streets lined up in the villages.
This refers to two- and three-storey domes, which by some unspoken conspiracy build all those who managed to earn in another country. That's the result. But there are those who did not return. Today from the editorial "Site" That's exactly the story.
We decided that this short interview would perfectly show the difference between the Italians and us. Acquaintance with other values always broadens horizons and gives food for thought. And who better than others can tell about everything than a compatriot who decided to seek happiness in another country.
GettyImages: My husband went to Italy first. It happened back in 2001. At first, everything seemed normal, but when it drags on for several years, it becomes clear that it will be difficult to protect the family. Although there are no objective reasons for this - you just start to wean yourself from a person, it seems that someone else lives in Italy.
With that in mind, I decided we needed to reunite. Although my whole life I am here, and my desire to be with my husband is over. To begin with, I went to visit him and the first thing I learned was the principle of “if you take it, then take it and do it.” It seems that our people have this inertia too strong, felt it on themselves, including.

Well, because you come back, you have euphoria, you no longer think that you must necessarily go, here are your friends, relatives, completely familiar life. I almost stayed home. But still she pulled herself together and after a year, having collected all the necessary documents, she legally went to Italy.
I had to get used to it, even though my husband had already made good ground here in six years. I went there and there, even though my husband had steady-work. The first thing that surprised me was the attitude. No one has pointed a finger at me, or poked me for not knowing the language or doing something wrong. Always with kindness and loyalty.
As I got a little deeper into everyday life, I realized that Italians are mostly normal and friendly people. It used to seem to me that the rich here go to the gold toilets and live in palaces, but it turns out that we live in palaces. I mean these houses that are being built by compatriots in the villages.
Italians do not boast about expensive cars, do not wear defiant clothes and do not rush into power, as we have, to “ride” the administrative resource. They think more about how their children will live, how they can develop. Really. rich They do not allow any excesses. Maybe they live in bigger apartments and drive in more comfortable cars.
GettyImages Ours are certainly surprised. How is it with such income and not to break off some kind of horomina with a large fence? At the same time, Italians wonder why several people have such a huge apartment. It is enough to organize life rationally, so that everything is enough. We're certainly not.
Italians love all kinds of working professions, among them there are many masters of one or another profile. The majority of their society is middle-classThat's enough for a car, an apartment, kids and everything. And the Italian can afford to go to the resort.
GettyImages, what do we got? A locksmith or plumber is perceived strangely, as if a person of the lower class. And those who have successfully used the social elevator, allow themselves to make fun of firefighters, policemen and doctors. In Italy, such things are nonsense. By the way, for a while I tried to dress at home, according to the latest fashion. But nobody dresses like that here.
Most of the clothes are comfortable and practical. No, no one canceled evening dresses, but in everyday life you almost never meet them. And no one divides clothes into holiday and regular. There are exceptions to the rule, not without it, but again, no one is particularly chasing brands.
GettyImages I had to adjust more to prices. With a pretty good income, food costs the same, and in some cases cheaper, than ours. Another thing. lodgingutilities, the Internet. It's an order of magnitude more expensive. Since we have been here for a long time, we live comfortably, rent an apartment in a new building.
Do we want to go home? On the one hand, yes, and on the other, not so much. My husband and I have already settled here, we are used to having a son here. It is unlikely that we will move to our homeland. Italy will not replace our relatives, so we regularly go to visit, but in general our life is here. Get used to it! By the way, the husband is a good carpenter, everyone knows him here.

Write in the comments whether you have lived in any country for a long time and whether the mentality of the inhabitants there is very different from ours. Or add something about Italy, because everyone has different experiences, someone could catch the negative. But we truly believe that none of our readers have had bad experiences.
Italian work It's different than ours. Sometimes it is difficult and sometimes it is embarrassing. But does all this matter if you not only bring, but also benefit? Read our next article about why Italians are happy to live with us. I guess we're not that different!
