'La Bella Figura: A Field Guide to the Italian Mind,' by Beppe Severgnini - The New York Times - Book Review - New York Times
Italiano, is quote Indiano
About the Italian frame of mind. Sounds familiar? Of course Italians are allowed to romanticise it just like we did with Bharat Dabholkar's then-brilliant-now-overused tag line "we are like this wonly"

An Italian prof I know once complained about the punctuality of Indians. So while I agree there are lots of similarities I think we're in a league of our own.
I once attended a "brainstorming session" at Chennai where a bureaucrat from Delhi turned up 2 hours late. The guy chairing the meeting quickly cut short his apologies saying -- "Don't worry. In India nobody is ever late."
