voluptuouswomen


 * The voluptuous woman**

Stereotypes are often caused by the media (movies, commercials) that contribute to spread an image of a certain culture or people which hardly correspond to the reality. The worldwide famous actress Monica Bellucci, for example, represents the fixed idea that foreign people may have about the Italian woman, that is: a plump and voluptuous woman, with long black hair and big dark eyes. Well, almost the half of the Italian women don’t coincide with that description, me first! Another stereotype concerning the Italian women is the one of the overly loving mother, who stays at home with her children. Italian mothers are frequently thought to be women who like to care about their husbands and want them to feel comfortable. Of course, for Italian people the family is very important, but not all the Italian mothers are extraordinary cooks, women are very independent and nowadays a great number of them prefers the career to the family.
