Italians take the quality of their work personally because they see their output as a reflection of who they are. A poorly executed product, a careless presentation, or sloppy communication is not just a professional miss—it reflects on the person responsible.
This means Italians often bring extraordinary care and attention to detail to their work, and they notice the same quality (or lack of it) in what others produce. When working with Italian counterparts, demonstrate genuine care for the quality of your shared output. Cutting corners or rushing to completion at the expense of quality can be perceived as disrespectful—not just to the project but to the people involved. The time Italians invest in getting things right is not inefficiency; it is an expression of personal standards and professional dignity.
