Noticeably, there are more women who attended school in Italy. During the year of 1950, there are only 7% of girls in between the ages of fourteen and seventeen who went to school, and there are only 12% of boys are going to school. While in 1998-99 there are about 84% of the girls and only 81% of the boys attended high schools. It was during the 1990s where girls outnumbered the percentage of boys attending classes. Due to this, the increasing percentage of women with regards to education explained that Italian women have greater existence of women within the labor market. Italien women use all posibilities to go abroad and learn different language for example with the MBA especializado - or the famous college program Erasmus. This way they are able to develop a distinctiv profil for international companies.

In this present time, Italian women did not already appreciate the traditional role of being a mother and wife alone. And young housewives on the other hand see their condition as an obligation than as an option. In fact Italian working mothers considered more satisfied compared of being a housewives and mothers alone. Despite the reality that they are abounding with work, they find working outside more reliable because they find it worthy. There are about 35% of the Italian mothers nowadays that spend time of about seventy hours working every week.

While Italian men when compared to women are only contributes a little with regards to housework and childcare. Though we are now in the modern time, still the situation of husband and wife in Italy remains constant. In fact, that tradition does not only exists for the wife and husband but as well as to their children. Boys in Italy are asked only less housework rather than to girls. Most of the girls in Italy are more responsible to household works than to boys. Italian boys on the other hand only contribute a little housework and childcare compared to girls. There is always this gender role in Italy whatever angle you may go, be it in education housework, jobs and more.

We had our breakfast in Vatican and again we tasted the discriminating taste of the Italian version of roasted chicken and grilled seafood. The experience was really very exciting and our vacation in Italy was never a dull moment.

NO wonder why Rachel Bilson is cast in the movie Jumper which made Hayden Christensen’s female and gay fans confused on whether to adore him as Jumper or Anakin Skywalker. That’s because Rachel Bilson is Italian-American and most of the scenes in the movie Jumper are set in Italy. My parents are all Italian immigrants but I’ve never been to Tuscany, hometown of both sets of my grandparents. But I will surely be there during spring break.

Of course, I will also be visiting Rome on my trip with my parents. In fact, my parents have already bought through Expedia the Alitalia airline tickets for the four of us (including my younger sister Monica). I am not just a movie buff and as a fan of economic studies, I am glad that we Italian-Americans have contributed in our own little ways to help steer the United States economy from recession and being patriotic by spending a few bucks through our one-week vacation to Italy. By spending in hotels in Rome and Tuscany during spring break, we also play ode to our Italian heritage and contribute to the economy there.

My Italian actress idol is Monica Bellucci. I first saw her convincingly perform as Jesus’s mother in The Passion of the Christ. Later, I saw her playing opposite Bruce Willis as a missionary in Africa in Tears of the Sun. She must be a good actress because she has captured the fancy of Hollywood producers. And they are not just B-rated movies that Monica is hired, they are big-budgeted productions such as The Passion of the Christ and Tears of the Sun. Remember that Tears of the Sun has been handpicked by West Point as a supplemental tool in teaching their students how to do a covert Special Forces military operation accurately.

Monica Bellucci really did justice to the producers of all the Hollywood movies that she has starred in and that’s what makes her my idol. In one of the saddest movies I have ever seen, Irreversible, she played the role of a pregnant woman who was mercilessly raped and killed. And that’s why I adore Monica Bellucci as an actress. But then again, Monica is pure Italian. I also want to throw my moral support to actors of Italian descent in the United States like Anthony LaPaglia who is an Australian-Italian but now in the United States as a mainstay in Jerry Bruckheimer’s Without a Trace.
