We Italians like to say that a gesture is more valuable than a thousand words. Surprisingly, we don't actually have a gesture that says that, but we do for almost everything else. When it comes to body language, we simply rule. As we talk, our hands fly in the air making unmistakable signs, our faces twist into funny expressions.
These make up a dictionary all of their own, albeit one that's frequently rude and, for reasons that aren't entirely clear, slightly obsessed with testicles. For outsiders, this can be as tricky to negotiate as Rome's rush hour.
