Made me think about sitting at the kitchen table talking with my Grandma.

I miss her.

Reminds me of my Grandfather, an Italian, NOT Sicilian.

No Italian here. We don’t even gesture with our heads. I think it comes from having a culture where generations have been writing and reading as much as conversing. You can’t gesture when you write and you don’t learn gesturing when you read. Or maybe gesticulating was developed as a means of keeping flies off the food.

Stereotyping is perfectly acceptable, when it’s about people with an European background.

Lots of comments on this thread about Italians and their gesticulations as though they’re unusual. When I was growing up in the South we often commented on Yankees and their hand movements when talking (Southerner don’t do that sort of thing). The standard comment was that if Yanks could not move their hands they would be rendered mute.
