There is an interesting phenomenon that Italians can't speak without gestures. It is not only in face-to-face communication, hands are constantly drawing. Even if one hand is occupied by a mobile phone or smoking a cigarette, the other hand must be dancing up and down in the air. When emotional, it even needs the movement of the trunk and thigh to cooperate.

It is said that southern Italy became a colony of Greece at that time, and the Italians borrowed and cited the gestures of the Greeks when they spoke, and later were widely used to maintain the identity of the natives in the environment of cohabitation with European immigrants such as France, Austria, and Spain. Use, and finally formed a habit of speaking that has continued to this day.
According to statistics, there are more than 250 gestures that can be accurately used by Italians in daily life, and the number of gestures is basically the same as the number of words spoken.
