If you're Italian or know someone with an Italian background, then there's a high chance you've come across someone who loves to uses hand gestures to let their points be known.

Ask an Italian and they might tell you that the hand gestures can sometimes be of more importance than words themselves.

At its roots, it's merely a part of one's body language and can be used in both positive and negative situations. That includes facial expressions and one's posture.

There are over 250 said expressions that are frequently used to communicate, as it was once a crucial way of interacting given the country's history of invasions with other countries, where language barriers presented a challenge to talk.

At the World Championships in Slovakia, one Italian fan was spotted during the country's clash against the Czech Republic.

How spot-on was that? Your Italian grandmother would be so proud of that young lady.
