Italians organize information access in layers based on how close and trusted the relationship is. Family and lifelong friends get the full picture — open, detailed, unfiltered. Trusted colleagues and long-standing business partners get substantial information, but with more care about what is shared and how. Acquaintances and newer contacts receive limited, carefully selected information.
Strangers and unproven contacts get very little of substance. This is not about secrecy — it is about judgment. People constantly assess where others sit in their trust circles and share accordingly. Moving from an outer circle to an inner one takes time and demonstrated reliability.
You earn deeper information access by proving, through repeated interactions, that you handle information responsibly and reciprocate trust. There are no shortcuts through this process.
