Is there a lot of diversity? Are people in Italy accepting of differences?
When we asked people about diversity in Italy and whether locals are accepting of differences, they said...
"The predominate religion is Catholicism. This area is very poor and a lot of people do not even have a bank account. The cultural diversity is enormous. They are not accepting of differences. In my opinion the people can't even comprehend other cultures. A lot of people cannot read or write. Some people don't know or are not willing to accept that there are other religions besides Catholisim," said a member in Procida, Italy.
