Makes them real Italians.

Italians are in love with their language. As well they should. After all, it’s a beautiful language.  And romantic, too. Don’t tell Italians that they should settle for subtitles when they watch foreign films. Or when they see American television shows. It’s all dubbed-in Italian. Unlike in America. Where I expect subtitles.  No dubbed-in English for me. Italians are proud of their native language. Maybe that makes them less cosmopolitan. More parochial. But one thing’s for sure. Makes them real Italians. –Jim Broede
