Why Italians hate summer

Despite the fact that Italy is famous for its hot sun, its inhabitants are often very negative about the arrival of summer. And the matter is not only in the increasing flow of tourists and unbearable heat, but also in the huge number of mosquitoes, the lack of places on the beaches where Italians risk being unnoticed against the background of more athletic visitors. We found out several key reasons why the inhabitants of Italy do not favor too much during the hottest time of the year.

1. High temperatures

It would seem that Italians are afraid of the cold - when the mercury column of the thermometer drops to 10 degrees below zero, representatives of a hot country can fall into a real panic. Surprisingly, they bring no more joy and high temperatures, which in some regions can exceed 40 degrees Celsius.

2. There are no places on the beaches

Like representatives of other countries, Italians go to the sea during the holiday season, the coast and beaches of which are already occupied by tourists. Therefore, from year to year, the inhabitants of Italy express their dissatisfaction with the lack of places on the beaches of the country.

3. Tourists with the best tan

There are not many nations in the world whose representatives pay more attention to their appearance than Italians. Slender residents of Italy spend the whole winter in gyms, and with the first rays of the summer sun they rush to local beaches, trying their best to get a terrific tan. Therefore, many Italians, having come to the seashore and met excellent looking tourists there, begin to hate them, and with them the summer.

4. Half-naked tourists on the streets

Many people think that walking along the Italian streets in beachwear is the norm, but the inhabitants of the country themselves consider this style of dressing simply unacceptable. They are ready to endure this style of clothing only on the beaches, but not in the center of the city. Despite the sometimes overwhelming temperatures, Italians always try to look “in full dress”, even if sweat streams slowly flow down their backs.

5. Lack of air conditioning

For a country in which records of high temperature regularly change, in Italy there is clearly a shortage of air conditioners. Traveling from point A to point in the Roman metro may seem like a road to hell. Moreover, do not expect to find fans in old buildings: Italians easily refuse them, fearing destruction.

6. Mosquitoes

The country, which could never boast of the absence of annoying mosquitoes, was attacked in the 90s. Therefore, to this day, Italians with horror await the onset of summer, which in addition to the heat will inevitably bring whole swarms of insects.

7. Rotting garbage

Mountains of garbage on the streets of Italy - a problem that the country's authorities have been trying to cope with for several years. It becomes especially relevant in the summer months, when under the scorching sun, the remains of products in garbage bags begin to exude terrible stench. Most of all "gets" the inhabitants of Naples and Rome, where the issue of garbage collection has not been resolved for a long time.

8. Lack of places in the cafe on the verandas

Italians, like many tourists who come to the country of wine and sun, during a siesta, when the ruthless sun is at its zenith, try to find a place where they could cool off by drinking wine or eating a serving of gelato. However, the influx of visitors is the first reason why the inhabitants of Italy can not take a seat at the table in the shade. To do this, they have to stand in a long line, and, as everyone knows, representatives of this nation do not differ in endurance and patience. At the same time, everyone should take into account paragraph 5 on our list: most likely, there will be no air conditioning inside the cafe.

9. Wet hair

Perhaps one of the most popular reasons why Italians hate summer is their hair that is constantly wet due to the heat. Motorcyclists, who are many in Italy, take off their helmets especially painfully. Spoiled styling can spoil the mood of anyone, is it worth saying what a blow this becomes for the temperamental Italians?

10. Noisy neighbors

In the summer months, Italians become especially attentive, especially when the heat makes everyone open the windows of the rooms. In such cases, the neighbors behind the wall talking on the phone too loudly annoy more than usual. To all this is added the noise of cars, as well as funny companies walking around the streets. And after all this, the Italians fall in love with summer ?!
