New data revealed that nearly half of men aged 25-34 still lived at home with their mothers.
Italian men are well-known for their love of mama.
But just how much has been revealed by official Italian figures, which show that more than half of all Italian men still live with their moms.
Figures show that 52% of Italian men aged between 25 and 34 were still living at home.
In contrast, just 35% of women were doing the same.

Those who are still a little close to the apron strings are dubbed “mammoni,” or mama’s boys.
A lack of jobs in the economically struggling nation is one reason why men are more reluctant to venture beyond the family home.
Another reason is that many Italians are staying in school longer, thus not earning any income, reports The Local.
The trend is also causing Italian men to increasingly put off marriage and raising a family until later in life.
For Americans in the same age group, the figure is around 25%.
First of all I would like to say terrific blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask
if you do not mind. I was curious to know how you center yourself
and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I’ve
had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually
wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
Appreciate it!
