Contexto cultural
The 'riassunto' is a staple of Italian primary education. Children are taught to summarize fables and stories as a way to develop logical thinking. TV shows in Italy often start with a very dramatic 'riassunto' narrated by a deep voice to build tension for the new episode. In Italian universities, oral exams (esami orali) often require students to 'fare un riassunto' of entire bibliographies on the spot. It is considered polite to 'fare un riassunto' for someone who joins a group conversation late so they don't feel excluded.
Use 'In pratica'
When starting a verbal summary, begin with 'In pratica...' (Basically...). It makes you sound very native.
Don't forget 'UN'
Saying 'faccio riassunto' sounds like 'me Tarzan'. Always include the 'un'.
