Just a couple more ideas:
- there are lots of stereotypes (both national and regional) linked to
the 'Italian' use of gestures, and books concerning this subject are
often an (irritatinggly) excellent source of ideas...
- another excellent source is travel writing (including guides): over
the years I have encountered lots of stereotypical definitions of all
imaginable groups - and I am currently working on an
Anglo-American-Italian woman traveller who uses a whole range of
stereotypes in her autobiography and travelogues - with the
peculiarity that she states her doubel or triple allegiances.
