34 - Italians vs problems Finding the right solution to a problem is always a very difficult task. Each person has his or her own approach, but there is not a correct one a priori. The best solution to a problem depends on the person who has to face it, on the context and obviously on the problem itself. No one can understand which is the right one before putting it into practice. One of the most important characteristics of Italian culture is what we call "l'arte di arrangiarsi", which means that each of us has the ability to solve a problem by himself or herself. Italians are genetically programmed to be able to always find a solution, even if it might be considered unconventional or inappropriate. This probably derives from our history or, more realistically, from bureaucratic problems which have afflicted Italy for several years and that have accustomed us to have to deal with problematic situations.
