Trade in Speak Italian: The Fine Art of the Gesture for an Amazon Gift Card of up to £0.34, which you can then spend on millions of items across the site. Trade-in values may vary (terms apply). Learn more
This is a fun little divertissement documenting a fraction of the rich non-verbal part of the Italian language. Gestures in Italian can convey a very precise message in a vivid and spontaneous way. Non Italian speakers are often surprised by how precise and well-codified the meaning of a gesture can be, and how subtly this meaning can change or dissolve if the gesture is only slightly modified. This book selects very few of this vast vocabulary showing them in effective photos with brief description of the meaning and correct execution. Some of them are a bit outdated (the gesture for "phone call" still refers to the old rotary telephone dial!) but most of them are still in use.
Do not expect this to be a guide or a complete reference for this complex language (you can only learn it by direct exposure) but it is a well crafted fun selection from which you can spawn discussion or just plain laughter =)

And I tought it would have been a funny present for a foreign girl I was with, as she would have understood better my "hand language". But this book is poorly made, bad pictures, not funny a all. won't buy again, would not recommend.

This is very funny - anybody expecting a serious guide to the language will be sorely disappointed. I would recommend it for anybody with Italian partners or relatives, as long as they don't mind some slightly vulgar references (not one for your Italian grandmama, perhaps!) It is really just a series of photos of each gesture, with an accompanying "explanation" in English and Italian as to what that gesture means. But that's the beauty of it. Think of it as a miniature coffee table book, and enjoy.

This is an ideal coffee table book for anyone who likes books especially facial/bodytalk. Really very good for Mangers and their ilk who sometimes talk with their hands
