I honestly find it odd that you're taking this so seriously. either anti-italian shitposting as a genre has run its course, or I'm the one getting trolled and not realizing it
I grew up in Italy (an hour away from Bologna in fact). Whenever it gets mentioned, it always gets mocked with stereotypes of people from New Jersey or whatever.
Ignorance of the country is incredibly widespread, just like for many other countries in the west and elsewhere, but even the Brits or French at least get people treating events in the country seriously. Germany or Poland (the country I live in, and the one I was born in) both are treated with slight disdain for various more or less legitimate reasons. For many others it's just radio silence because of a lack of coverage/knowledge (which is unfortunately normal)
It does answer the question, but Americans prefer to just go "eyy Tone gabagool, I'm walkin' 'ere
"
And that will probably never change.
eyy Tone gabagool, I'm walkin' 'ere

But Italy? Nah, it's all "eyy Tony Soprano"
Personally I get upset when I order an Italian sub and they put bologna instead of mortadella on it. That's not how Italian subs are made in Italy.
lol
Amo Italia
