Description:

The Italians are the masters of speaking with their hands: think of a taxi driver in Rome stuck in traffic or a village gossip spreading the tale of a cuckolded husband. Bruno Munari's little handbook will help you decipher this language of gestures, an unspoken language you won't find in any dictionary.

Synopsis:

"Attenzione!"They say that a gesture is worth a thousand words, and when it comes to speaking with your hands, the Italians speak volumes. This quirky handbook of Italian gestures, first published in 1958 by renowned Milanese artist and graphic designer Bruno Munari, will help the phalange-phobic decipher the unspoken language of gesturesa language not found in any dictionary. Charming black-and-white photos and wry captions evoke an Italy of days gone by. "Speak Italian" gives a little hand to anyone who has ever been at a loss for words.
