>>14134352even though it is true that Italy turned from a poor shithole to an industrialized country too fast and a lot of italians are stuck in a traditional mindset where family is considered extremely important that's only half of the story
the issue of mammoni is largely economical. to give you the idea, Milan's and Bucharest's average wages are roughly the same but life costs three times more in Milan. Italy is the only big western european country where wages decreased in the last 30 years rather than the increasing, and cost of living increased in the meanwhile too. most of the guys who live with their parents simply cant afford to move out.
that's also why Italy has one of the highest rate of emigrants to other EU countries in the union, a lot of people just give up on the hope that they'll ever get a job that pays enough for them to move out and live comfortably and seek job opportunities elsewhere.
