From saving the salad for after dinner to waving our hands everywhere when we talk, Italian's have a certain way about them that non-Italians will never understand.

Check out our list of 10 things non-Italians will never understand.

1. Wearing a Corno Necklace

They will never understand this one!

2. The Salami Hanging in Your Cantina

The number of times your friends told you that they were too scared to go into your cantina. They have no idea what they were missing!

3. Padre Pio’s Photo in Your House

They just aren’t as religious as you and your family are.

Their mothers bought Prego instead…

5. The Volume of Your Voice

They tell you all the time to lower your voice, but it’s difficult!

We are late because we gotta look our best and plus our mothers are asking us a million questions before we get out the door.

We are very expressive when speaking. Meanwhile, Kyle keeps his hands by his sides the whole time while talking.

10. Your Multiple Freezers

We are always prepared just in case. Our non-Italian friends usually only ahve ice cream and frozen peas in their freezers!
