for money, especially if
buying leather goods

belts) and certain
decorative items
(lamps, Italian modern
designer goods and
glassware).

The Italian family
In Italy, as in many parts of the world, social
structures and norms have changed
dramatically over the last 20 years. The
stereotype of the large Italian family is no
longer true as Italy now has one of the lowest
birthrates in the world. Most of the newer
population in Italy comes from immigration.

Head of Italian family
The traditional Italian family has always beenheaded by the male figure (capofamiglia), andalthough the power was only on paper it gave a
lot of meaning in the overall family relationship. Today that concept seems to be obsolete
although it is still legally present.
One custom that Italians have is women keeping
their maiden name. Some Italian women are nowgiving their children their maiden namesalthough that is still rather uncommon.

In 2013 after the nomination of Ccile Kyenge,an African Italian woman, as Minister of Integrationin the government of Enrico Letta, she was thesubject of several racial slurs by local and national
politicians. One was by Roberto Calderoli, aprominent figure of the anti-immigration andpopulist party Legal Nord, who said that wheneverhe saw Minister Kyenge, an orang-utan came to his
mind. After a few days, during a speech by Kyengeat a meeting of the Democratic Party, somemembers of the far-right and neo-fascist NewForce threw a clump of bananas at the minister.
