A lot of the older folk I know say "eye talian."

They are Italian so there's that.

I don't pronounce it that way.

Maybe it's a northern thing come to think about it.

I'm not an uneducated hick, so I don't say eye-Talian.

what about "eye-rack"? Even President Bush Sr said Eye-Rack.

And "Pack-ee-Stan". Only Pres Obama pronounced it correctly.

The only time I've heard it pronounced "eye-talian" was on a radio commercial for a gas station outside of Tyler.

(Country hick woman accent): "Don't forget to try our world famous fudge or eye-talian gelato ice cream!"

My recently deceased mother (she would be 92 this year) always ordered "wop" dressing at all restaurants. I would have been delighted if she would have called it eye talian. Believe me....I tried.

Just look for this in a person's fridge or pantry. If someone is trashy enough to use it as a dressing or marinade, guarantee they pronounce it Eye-talian

Gas station across from Tyler State Park. Thanks to that commercial, I never stop there

Good food
Romantic language
Hot women in their 20s that get fat as they are.
Full of papists
Corrupt to the core
Population that isn't nearly as smart as the neighboring countries.

You could be on to something.

Also:

Beautiful scenery
Popular vacation destination from nearby countries
Great party scene (though Spain's is better)
Rich in history
Warm climate

With the exception of the corrupt government stuff I think it's a compliment to call Italy the Mexico of Europe

One of my bucket list items WAS to go see the village where my ancestors came from. Tresilico in the province of Calabria. It's just a wooded area now and the village migrated just south to Oppido Mamertina. After street viewing that town, I would fear for my life.
