Colors of Isola di Ischia - traditions, festivals, mentality and lifestyle
One of the characteristic features of the Italian mentality is the desire to always and in all circumstances adhere to the bella figura. You can translate this expression as "keep style". In fact, we are talking about certain conventions of public behavior. For example, no self-respecting Italian woman will even go out to buy bread without makeup or wearing home cloth. By the way, this tradition is the base of how the locals behave in public, which sometimes is taken for rudeness.
