Italian body language??? How comes I never heard about that? There's an
Italian Sign Language used by the deaf community, but I've never come across
Italian body language. Indeed, I notice I hardly ever use gestures while
speaking. That must be a thing Southerners use to do, I suppose. But that's
another world;-)

Sorry for lumping all Italians together. 
We hardly ever use movements when we speak in Swedish, and when we do, it's to
really really emphasize (don't know the spelling) what we say. So when we come
across people and languages that use often very vivid movements, then it's
perceived as something rather special. It could also be because the
organization that organized the course is made up of very silly people. :p
