*Rude Behaviour- It is deemed as a gesture of contempt if you rub your chin with the fingertips and propel them forward. Making a hand gesture that looks like the devil's horn pointed outward is an obscene gesture. The opposite direction means warding off evil. When you point with both your index and pinky fingers, it means you are wishing a person bad luck. It is considered very offensive if you slap a raised arm above the elbow and thumbing your nose. It is unacceptable to chew gum, lean or slouch in public.

 * Local gestures and behavior:**
 * When it comes to introductions in Italy, Italians prefer to be introduced by a third party, if possible. When meeting people, it is proper to be introduced to women and older people first. It is the same protocol when introducing yourself to others.
 * Shake hands with everyone with a firm grip during introductions and departures. While doing this always say "buon giorno" during the day time or "buona sera" in the afternoon and evening. It is commons for Italians to greet people they know with a hug but it is not expected from a foreigner to the same gesture.
 * Eye contact is also very important to Italians, as it shows if you are interested in a person or not. Be aware that looking away may perceived to be a sign of boredom or of rudeness. Placing the hand on the stomach means dislike for another person.
