[B2] In this episode of Italiano a modo mio, we explore one of the most common stereotypes about Italians: that everyone in Italy is deeply religious. Is it really true? You’ll learn about the historical roots of this idea, from the Vatican in Rome to the cultural weight of Catholic traditions. We’ll look at how modern Italian society has changed: fewer people attend church regularly, scandals have weakened trust, and younger generations often see religion more as culture than as faith. Along the way, you’ll discover the difference between tradition and belief, the regional contrasts between North and South, and why being religious can sometimes be associated with bigotry in today’s Italy.
