Italian family life remains very traditional, with men contributing little to household duties and childcare, while boys are given more freedom than girls. Business etiquette in northern Italy is more direct and focused on efficiency, while the southern style is more leisurely and relationship-focused, with haggling over deals common. The document provides a 38-slide PowerPoint presentation on various aspects of Italian culture such as family life, food, etiquette, travel tips, and trivia.
