Now, that Italy is trying to bed down Mother Russia in a lusty economic relationship, you'll need a few cherished perspectives passed down from Grandpa Person, a man who was born in Harlem and died in Queens, a cradle to grave New Yorker, who had an opportunity to share his rare these, them, and those guys wisdom of a young lad on the street who was quick on his feet during the prohibition era of the USA and had a front row seat to the Italian culture...
Are you ready?! Here goes...
Since you are going to be doing more business with Italians, you'll need the best information you can get on how to negotiate properly, as well as think properly.....
1) There are only two types of Italians in this world - either they are heroes or they are cowards - there are absolutely no inbetweens
2) Never trust a "Guinea"...this was the lower crime level element of the Italian culture...there's lips drip with lies, and they'll stab you in the back.....and combined with #1, it makes for a very dangerously perverse relationship....
3) They honor strength, and the whole group will not jump you if you get into a fight with one of them...this is a positive...my dad's family lived in an all Italian neighborhood back in New York....and during WWII, a great uncle of mine, who was American Russian/Ukrainian got into a fight with an American Italian US soldier. This Great Uncle of mine was a very tough dude...according to family legend....when he was 11 years old, he was able to run a hundred yards with a hundred pound coal sack...he was able to do a military curl of 110 pounds with one arm...and one time sparred with Primo Carnera...a famous Italian heavy weight boxer....and did respectable well against him....As the story goes, one thing led to another and the two got into a fight, there was over two hundred people watching! All Italians - well the Italian came storming down the stairs and charged Uncle Paul - Uncle Paul simply took one step to the side, through a headlock around him, and with three mighty punches - the fight was over. The whole crowd dispersed, and Uncle Paul had absolutely no trouble going in and out of his house in an all Italian neighborhood...
Considering Italy was spared a complete cultural annihilation after siding with Hitler during WWII, and not being subject to destruction of the tremendous antiquity of the ancient Roman Empire, you might think the Italians of the Eternal City of Rome would be eternally grateful to the Italians of the Eternal City of New York who were used during WWII to pave the way of peace for the modern Italian of Italy to enjoy the architecture of Rome's great past...and were very persuasive in sparing their culture complete architectural destruction...a great and generous heart of the USA towards its enemies...
4) Lastly, the sexiest woman on Earth is the Italian woman...so in the business equation we have balance...her long shiny raven hair, her fair skin, her soft cherry lips and her blue eyes makes her the sexiest creature on Earth...this is the kind of girl the Italian boy is encouraged to bring home to mama...surpassing even Swedish supermodel blondes...
