  • “Cosa ti piace mangiare?” (What do you like to eat?)
  • “Che musica ascolti?” (What kind of music do you listen to?)
  • “Cosa fai nella vita?” (What do you do for a living?)
  • “Quali sono i tuoi hobby?” (What are your hobbies?)
  • “Dove vivi?” (Where do you live?)
  • “Sei mai stato/a in altri paesi?” (Have you ever been to other countries?)
  • “Ti piace la cucina italiana?” (Do you like Italian food?)
  • “Da quanto tempo studi italiano?” (How long have you been studying Italian?) if you are in a learning context
  • “Qual è il tuo posto preferito in Italia?” (What is your favorite place in Italy?)

Italians often appreciate questions that show interest in their culture, daily life, and passions. Also, it is customary to start with polite greetings and more general questions before moving to more personal topics. Building rapport gradually and showing genuine curiosity about their life and interests is key to making new friends in Italy. 2, 3, 4, 7
