In US. Grew up woth family speakibg itallian when I was young.

What yoy are saying just isn’t true. People want it to be, but it isn’t. If you go from your house to someone else’s, it is the same, maybe lunch is different. If you go from a British house to a French one, so much is different, exponentially moreso. That doesn’t even take into account the surrounding infrastructure.

The cold hard truth is that everyone who is actually Itallian is laughing at you for thinking otherwise.
