      You're right. We have hand gestures for "go away", "what/what are you talking about", "let's go", "say it again", "fuck" and and "go fuck yourself" lmao. Then there are gestures that we do based on what we are saying, for example when we're talking on the phone sometimes our hand moves in a certain way because we're saying a lot of stuff. But it's not as common as many think. Many italians don't use them, use them rarely or use different gestures than the usual.

    In the bougie bs high school I went to freshman year (and then transferred out), we had 3 language class choices: French, Italian, and ASL. The ASL teacher was a woman who was fully deaf in one ear and partially deaf in another, and she had a REALLY good sense of humor. She used to tell us that if we wanted to transfer to a different language class at any point while attending the school, that you should transfer to Italian class, because you’ve already learned how to talk with your hands 😭

    Italian as a national language is much more recent than one might think despite the more than 2,000-year history of the peninsula. it was enough to change the city to completely change the dialect and understand absolutely nothing of what was being said. So the Italian gesture was born with a series of gestures that meant the same thing wherever you went. That's why we still use it so much and are so attached to it

    When non Italians learn that those gestures aren’t speaking, or stereotypes, but brilliant animated emoticons hundreds of years before their time, that will be a good day

    One of my friends gives piano lessons to an Italian student. One day, the student was at her house for the lessons and was on a phone call afterwards. He was doing a lot of the hand gestures he knocked her TV down and it shattered 🤣 Good thing it's insured
