what is the meaning and origin of the italian hand gesture memes? "How italians..." has recently become a very popular meme all across social media.

For years I have been accustomed to associating this specific hand gesture with italian people, primarily due to their portrayal through TV and Film. I never thought much about it until this past week when the "How italians..." memes became very popular on the internet due to their mass exposure and creation through social media. With the popularity came the requests to make a video on the topic. I ended up learning more about the sterotype while doing my research, making me understand the origin and meaning of the hand gestures myself. I also ended up having a strange craving for pizza throughout the video process for some strange reason...

Love And Appreciation! :)
