How Italian Are You?

You are born and bred Italian, and could kick a soccer ball and tell a real Prada from a fake before you could even read! No one would ever question your knowledge of your Italian culture and heritage, and it's well known that when it comes to food, wine, and literature, you know your stuff inside and out!

Sorry but you're about as Italian as a Subway sandwich! No offense, but you've got a lot to learn before you can be a credible voice about the culture, history, and traditions of the ancient and historic region of the world.

You have a solid stake in Italian heritage, with a pretty good working knowledge of the region and its special traits. Your interest in the country will form a good basis to continue to learn, as you figure out how to make your nonna's favorite recipes and to enjoy a good espresso after a meal.

You're getting there with a solid start towards claiming some knowledge of Italian culture, but you've got a long way to come! Keep reading Dante, going to the opera, and learn to make your own gravy from fresh ingredients over the store-bought stuff, and you'll be fine!

You're so close to achieving True Italian status! You know your food facts, history, and geography, but you need to brush up on the language and literature to improve your grasp on the rich art world of the region. No one could ever doubt your interest and dedication to the Repubblica italiana!

You like pizza, pasta, and the Godfather, but these limited exposures to Italian culture and cuisine are about as far as you venture into Italian territory. Things could change for you, and you may be inspired to see the Mediterranean Sea or study up on Michelangelo and Leonardo Da Vinci to round out your Italian education.
