文化背景

In Italy, drinking coffee 'di fretta' at the bar counter is a standard morning ritual. It's social but efficient. There is a stereotype that Northerners (especially in Milan) are always 'di fretta', while Southerners prefer a slower pace. Being 'di fretta' is often the unofficial excuse for the assertive driving style found in cities like Rome or Naples. Being 'di fretta' during a Sunday family lunch is considered quite rude. Meals are meant to be 'con calma'.
