- In 2001, 60 Minutes reported on "mammoni," Italian mama's boys who, well into adulthood, lived at home, slept in their childhood bedrooms, and were waited on by their mothers. At the time, one 39-year-old called the set-up "paradiso."
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

I moved home to my mother in my 40s, we are more like friends. I was renting and she was living alone with not much extra money. Now we are company for each other, she has more money for herself. I cook and we have great fun. Her health is not great and i can help her, plus it helps with loneliness. I love her more than anything in the world xx Look after your parents we don't have them forever xx
Beautiful
What a blessing you are.
You can take care of her and live in your own home. It's not difficult.
I have a cousin who still lives with his parents (both alive) and he's now 53yrs old, single, overweight, dropout, uses his moms car, and has no future goals. But he's really happy and I can't judge him as a person. He definitely a wonderful person taking care of his parents and still helping others outside his home. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I can see why Italy’s fertility rate is so low. Being with a guy who won’t even bother to make his own bed or do his own laundry doesn’t exactly make the ladies knock down his door.
@bndergltd3035 •Agh seriously squeezed fresh orange juice ?What Is this a man child ?The biggest cause of divorce is -Men not stacking the dishwasher as I told my son if you don’t scrape rinse stack and bring me the washing I am handing in my notice he is only 15 I love my son dearly I do cook but he also cooks for me (As for washing and ironing his underwear or anything like that -No I hang up his school shirts leave them on the stairs if he fails to bring washing down he can go to school naked ..😂❤😂
We had a tight family. Some of us stayed with our parents and took care of them. Both of them loved that we were living with them and helped them out. When they got sick, we would take them to the doctor and stayed by their side until they passed away. We helped with the bills and did errands when needed.
Beautiful
I, along with my siblings, did all of that and we all lived in our own homes. I even stayed with her in the assisted living.
This report fails to survey the 'mammoni's' sisters. A worthwhile sequel / counterpoint.
I'm kind of interested if they were given the same leniecy to stay home unmarried 😂😂😂
👏👏👏👏👏
@@caitlinodonnell2753 That's a good point. Yes, what about the daughters?
Yes, his mother's taking care of him however, you will never find her in a nursing home at the end!!!❤
Spot on!
Exactly!
Homelessness, drug use and crime are extremely low. Birth rates are extremely low in most of industrialized world and demographers do no correlated it with mammoni.
My mom had 9 kids. Many of us helped to take care of her, took her on many vacations, she stayed at our homes even while she was in the assisted living apartment.
@@janetpartyka5968 Glad you all pitched in. You are blessed to be from a loving family.
I lived with a first generation Sicilian -American man for ten years and he was the exact opposite of these guys! He loved to cook, we shared all household chores. What a change one generation can make…in America! ☺️☺️☺️☺️ His father was just like these mamma’s boys!
I......kind of envy this lifestyle....very interesting....today in our country many people are suffering.... emotionally....
I'm an Anglo American but after watching this I must be Italian
My 36 year old son lives with us and I would never kick him out
It's on you then.
Lots of Mothers in the States don't want their kids to ever leave. I can't relate.
My half-Italian brother left his wife and kids, moved back in with mom, and cleaned out her bank account. A real prince.
You are doing him a disservice. He needs to grow up.
there are a couple of things -- first of all, for an Italian to rent an apartment is difficult because there a so many laws protecting the tenant from eviction that the landlord is reluctant to rent the place for fear of never being able to get a bad tenant to leave. Secondly, if you move out from your family home, Italians think there must be something wrong with you - you must be a drug addict, a psycho etc. - because even your family can't stand you. There is one thing I have noticed in Italian families that is different to mine, the Italian parents are very involved in their children's lives but somehow do not constrict them. The children come and go as they please, travel, have romances etc... with little comment from the parents. I feel, in the same situation, my parents would be overbearing and judgmental and would be treating me as if I was still a teenager and I would be scolded for staying out too late and treating this place "like a hotel" (I heard that a lot).
Exactly. True for the Greek community as well. Unless you're in a stable relationship or engaged do you move out.
@@stephan6372 you mean you don't move out unless you're in a stable relationship, right?
I hope they are giving plenty of money to the parents ❤
It says they are not charged rent, so there you go.
@@sylviacarlson3561 They could still give money for groceries, maintenance on the house, etc...
They know how to be independent, they just don't want to, they love their family, girls are treated just the same.
Happy Mother’s Day!!
😂
Everybody love Raymond is no joke ❤😂
😂😂😂
yet, they didn't use a real Italian to play the mother,
This is also common in the Greek community . We don’t want our children to leave home
Ok but what about having kids?
100%. i'm not Greek, but i'm from Melbourne, which is hugely Greek. it's still very common here in 2024 for Greek boys to stay at home, and always be looked after by their mums. we of course love to make light of that here too, and nobody more than 2nd 3rd or 4th generation Greek and Italian migrants. of course it's all based on love and nostalgia. there's a very funny Australian comedy group called Sushi Mango - it's a deeply "Melbourne" type of humour, but i'm sure it's universal, and i'm sure you'll enjoy it! ua-cam.com/video/wIwHmmgxaxQ/v-deo.html
This happens in other countries as well, mostly Southern European. I live in Greece and our vet is in his mid-fifties, still living at home with his parents. I asked him once if he never felt like he wanted his own space, his own house. He said emphatically, “no”., I will leave when I marry! I know his family well and his mother has even asked me to find him a wife, she has had enough of cooking & cleaning for him! Of course, when the economic crisis hit in 2010 many young people moved back home but never left once their jobs returned. Ironically, it is the young women here who want to leave and many buy their own flats. Then their boyfriends move in with them and the cycle begins again.
There is no empty nest syndrome.
This family centric lifestyle has so much value compared to individuality, that has proven downsides in American culture. As 71 yr old retired career woman/wife, the path was extremely difficult & far too much work & not enough joy!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I agree with you.
I feel like empty nest syndrome ages you faster. At least the elders have a continued purpose. Everybody yearns for mama and papa let ‘em enjoy it
Yes!!!
That was a good story.
💯
Don’t let your children watch.
God’s forbids they’ll never want to leave the house
How I wish I was born in Italy!
I had 3 American girlfriends who felt insulted to the core if I dared ask them to do the simplest thing for me .
These are not life partner material, sorry to say .
Come to Bensonhurst, Brooklyn and you will see many Mammoni's
😮
Aren't they all Russian and Chinese there now?
In Europe many families have older children still living at home. It is not that unusual.
I remember watching this back in 2001. Recently I started following a UA-cam channel from Positano. It’s a couple with a teen daughter who live in a home his five brothers helped build. Some brothers still live with the parents. I think a big reason is the lack of affordable housing. You see couples with two kids living in one bedroom apts. waiting to inherit their parents places.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Get married and momma can still live with you, buy a house, and have 4 or more kids!
Even in Asian countries they do that its a normal thing to do
So marry the Exercise instructor’s and move her in with Momma, so all Children are with Grandparents it’s a Beautiful concept
yes!
These mommy’s boys don’t seem to have much respect for their mothers, treating and speaking about them as if they were maids! My question, if their mothers are left alone in old age, will they take them in to their married homes or leave them to fend for themselves? Pathetic.
the mothers you see here are filled with joy and purpose taking care of their families. They'll also never be thrown into nursing homes, like in America.
noooo !!! Mama is always well taken care of. An Italian wife soon finds out she is second fiddle to the man's mother. An Italian mother and/or grandmother comes first.
@@chloebelle4923 what happens when they get too old and infirmed to perform the Mammoni duties? It doesn't mention that here.
Keeps mom going
Happy Mother’s Day
And there are some of us that wonder where the hell are sons are? And we were told: when you have a daughter your daughter's for life; when you have a son, he's yours till he meets his wife. Sigh.
In Netherlands, they leave home very early, mostly eat frozen pizza's, drinking, experimenting drugs, playing computer games, not developing social skills at all.
Those men look very healthy and loved. Let them be. Not every man is obliged to merry and have children.
También es común en mí adorado Pais. República Dominicana !!
My SIL is Dominican & does dote on my nephew. My niece moved out!
Sounds great to me. Everybody gets what they want.
These men are lucky to have their parents alive and there are a lot of perks and savings to be had... haha ... But not everyone is blessed
no, I agree. A little independence is necessary for basic survival. parents don't live forever.
Giorgio Boemo is no longer single! He married his wife, Federica, on Valentine's Day 2017.
Love this.
I see no problem with this life style. Although I believe these adult children should pay their parents.
This seems to be a very male centered culture. It's not like these men just love their mothers so much but more that they just want to be taken care of. When do these older mothers have a chance to rest and do what they want but they don't even see that as an issue. I love my adult children but I want them to live independent lives. When I do spoil them in some way, I want it to be because I want to and not because they demand or expect it.
Yes, we are a male chauvinist culture! In addition to that, we have the Vatican and now a far-right wing government. It could't be worse.....
@@RaffaellaIT be grateful your govt is not allowing the invasion that america is suffering!
They need to move out or at least, do some chores like normal. 😂
They all good Catholic boys that love their mothers.
Good Catholic boys? Doesn't look like it to me. They would've been married by now instead of using women.
@@dianesantos7797 What are you talking about? The last Mammoni in the documentary was married.
Very similar things happening in Asian countries
Hahaha.....have you looked at the current generation of AMERICAN young adults?
🤔
thank the parents. they insist on paying all their bills and babying them.
Exactly!! Several of our neighbors adult kids (30’s-40’s) have moved back in with their older parents. Grow up already! Geesh.
It's not only happening in Italy it's the same in Africa .but atleast in Africa they lay there own beds and also wash there own clothes it's normal and family is very important.there is no problem staying with your own parents .
I can understand the African system better then. You can live with family, but you need to grow up and know how to take care of yourself.
Something about seeing these mothers make their sons' beds doesn't float with me; live with your family if you want, but pull your own weight.
They are called Nene in Buenos Aires 💙🦋💙
in india they do too. not unusual at all.
Ahhhh very cute 🥰 ❤❤❤
Happy mother's day ❤
You too!❤
I hope it's ironic
These are not "family values" as the grinning man said. This shows inequality between man and women. The son is told from early age that women are there to serve him, first mother and later the wife.
Of course “how can you beat that” why don’t you do it yourself
💯 % verissimo...siamo noi and proud 🇮🇹
These women are servants for grown men. Pass
My comment was removed. Thx 60 minutes.
Freedom of speech 😂😂😂 That garbage of paper call the constitution has to be changed...
I see nothing wrong with this. I am of Spanish decent.
❤
Davide Lucchini is still unmarried but lives in his own apartment and visited his parents often.
My Brother !!!! Hahaha !!! Never knew there was a name for these spoiled brats !!! 😂😂😂
Very common in Spanish families!
Hahaha nobody will admit it! IT'S THE COST OF LIVING! WHY PAY RENT? AND HAVE NO SAVINGS, AT THE END OF THE MONTH?
I envy them. How lucky to be with your parents.
I am from Brazil and this is common in South America Countries, you just get out of your parents house when you married. Is different when you live if your parents and "do nothing" of your life , and you live there but help financially and work. I left my moms home when i was in my early 30's... was my decision and my mom felt a lot at the time. is a cultural thing!
I'm Italian ( I left Italy and my family 20 years ago) the fanniest Italian parents are the ones that spoil their kids and then spend the rest of the time winging, because they are spoiled
I love MAMMONI. 😊
Massimo Malerba passed away from cancer in August 2005.
3:29 She must come from America 😅
What is the name of the reporter? She looks and sounds like a younger Leslie Stahl! Amazing! And what about Italian-American eligible bachelors?
That IS Leslie Stahl, I checked she turned 60 that year the report aired. She is 82 now
It’s her.
Actually those women are are there maids. And what did these men do when their mother dies? And of course there’s mothers in Italy that insist their sons leave as well as sons that move out on their own.
Sorry but living at home and NOT paying any rent!
what is so strange?! It's your mama for God's sake! Your mama!
I don't see anything wrong with living with your parents as an adult. What I see wrong, is not learning to be an adult yourself and contribute to a household. You can't be a teenager forever.
That's right. It's your mother and you shouldn't take advantage of the fact that she loves you and will sacrifice for you. That's their culture and so fine enough for them. But it is repulsive to me.
Great but it means these guys will not get married, have children.
Wowwwwwwwwww

That was 2001. I wonder how many of those Mommonis are still around. Then what would those idiots do?
From tiktok
This goes against nature. Birds manipulate their babies to fly and leave the nest, expected to work it out on their own. This behavior by mom's not willing to let go is purely selfish in my opinion.
These men sure don't mind. They don't even make their own beds. Who's selfish?
Good luck to the nasty spoiled brat when his parents are gone. He abuses his dear mother. It’s not going to go well. So what do they do when they are alone?
This is so funny he has another house and conveniently his parents go away for a weekend or go to bed early 😱🙇♀️😱It’s the stuff of nightmares I know lots of Italians and the men do not live like this must be a new trend are they still breast feeding?
These guys aren’t marriage material
Does that dude have wooden teeth ?
Why, do humans want to separate from their families. If everyone is happy I say go for it.
Just make your own damn bed! 😁
While it’s strange for us in America, it’s true that family is everything. Who wants to move with a live in made?
I would want grandchildren. This would be very difficult for a wife or girlfriend.
I'm Italian and I've never met such men, mothers like that don't exist except in films set in Sicily in the 60s. I have 2 children but they left home for university and then they stayed. This film is a big nonsense also because lunches like this are had once a year, at Christmas for example, changing the sheets every day? !! I love my children very much but that doesn't mean I cook all day or buy them newspapers!!!!

No thanks. Mama's boys and yes their mothers are their maids.

In 2024? Anything changed? Schools closed??? It is acceptable for women to leave home but not men??? 😮
My father was a Man Baby.Run.It is true they do not want you to move out.Big fight when you come to that.
Who would want to marry one of them? They obviously are accustomed to most every whim being catered to.
Exactly!
I raised my children to get a college education and find their way in this world! I raised them to do that, and not to Iive with me! They must experience life, and they can't do that living with me. This is my way of loving them!
OMGoodness! Who would date them?

Failure to launch….putting Mama as the gold standard is a recipe for failed future relationships when Mama goes bye bye. Both mom and dad are culpable in this scenario.

These guys will never move out or get married. What they are is using their mothers as their maids. These are narcissistic people. Mamoni for sure
What a bunch of users!
They are not getting married because they’re living at home and mom is doing everything for them, cooking, cleaning, ironing etc. They need to grow up, get out there get married, have a family and stand on their own 2 feet. I would not date a man over 30 that was living at home with his mom.
And their girlfriends are putting out and there's contraception so they never have to grow up, get married and man up and take care of their own family. Italy is dying for lack of marriages and children.
