Yes, it is. Many will tell you that it is because there's more work outside Italy, but in reality works ethic is a direct consequence of the cultural heritage, not of the country laws or the abundance of job posts. I don't see myself as a "typical Italian" anymore, quite the opposite, I find it rather offensive. The common principles that had brought the citizen of this country together after the fascism and the war and made us opponents and not enemies, have collapsed. If my job and my taxes (quite a lot higher than the average) are paying for the education or the health care of those people that want to ban vaccines or that protect castes and guild of all kinds, when not directly working for the mob, I'm outa here.
