Italian

Someone who's born in Italy from Italian parents. All the others are just wannabe-Italians.

A Italian is usually someone who consider himself better than the others just because of his nationality, but that doesn't take into account the fact that he has really nothing to brag about his country, beside food and sport-cars (beautiful men and women can be found everywhere).
Usually a proud Italian is someone that never leaved his country.

Outside Italy, Italians are super-nationalists and feel themselves like part of a big family. In Italy, however, Italians are far from being a compact population. North, center and south-Italians despise each other, and sometimes they also loathe people coming from nearby cities due to small and insignificant cultural differences.

The Italian population is one of the most stereotyped in the world, although few stereotypes are actually true for the most.

An Italian is generally a terrible tourist, always bitching about the superiority of Italian food and refusing to know the local culture.

Italians usually suck when it comes to learn and speak foreign languages.

- So your grandfather was Italian. You are just a wannabe Italian, instead. -
