Top destination around Filicudi Island - Salina Island

One of the main Italian characteristics is their clan system. Many of the local shops have been owned by the same family for generations. Local residents marry late and live with their parents up to thirty. Moreover, even when they have created their own family, they never forget about parents. Sometimes, women on Salina joke, that even if a local macho gets married, the mother will be the most important woman in his life. Late marriages can be explained by the difficult divorce suit. This process can take about eight years in Italy.

The island inhabitants like to attract attention, so they can behave theatrically. You won’t see here an Italian woman in pyjamas, staying in a line for bread. Local women try to take a shopping bag in the same tone as the dress. The principle of bella figure is important for Italians, it is translated as «the beautiful figure». Clothes should always be appropriate for a situation. Locals try to behave like masters of life. That’s why they may seem rude for foreigners. Italians can easily jump the queue.
