What is the average height in Italy?

Question

I'm going to Rome and Naples and was just wondering if I was going to be taller than most of the guys even, seeing as I'm 5'10". lol

Thanks for the answers!

Answer 1

Im not sure but Im going to Italy and pondered that myself and I am 5'7 so maybe there will be some the same height as me. I do however know some southern italian guys who are 6 foot tall .... so it varies...

Answer 2

im italian and from the south

i am 5'2 and average in my family. my dad is 5'5 and is the tallest of his side which is very big...as u can imagine italian catholic familys are.

Answer 3

Depends....

In the North men are quite tall averaging around 5'10". I myself am 6'6".

In the South though they can be quite short. Not sure what the average is though.

Either way, you are a hot tall girl, so enjoy that. I am sure you will get lots of attention.

Answer 4

This is the MOST STUPID QUESTION I've ever read on Answers.

Just to make a comparison between the UK and Italy,I've been staying in London for 5 weeks and as a 5'5" italian girl I never felt short in ANY way

Answer 5

you are a little taller than italian girls.

men are 5'20'' tall average.

Answer 6

martox45 and Jo:Nico....why did you get so hostile in your questions. Luckily, most Italians aren't so rude.

When I went I didn't notice that big of a height difference. I went to Rome but didn't get to go to Naples. It is a fantastic city, one of my favorite places in the world. You are going to have a blast!

Answer 7

emanu, ahhh 5'20" doesn't make in sense.

Answer 8

Italian guys are really short!!! They are around 1.55 - 1.60 meters tall! But don't worry, Italian women are usually taller so you won't stand out in the crowd! :) Enjoy your stay there! :)

Answer 9

People is taller in north and shorter in south Italy. And young people is taller than older people.

I live in Milan (north Italy) and I am 5'9". All my girl friends are shorter then me, in fact average height for a young woman in north Italy is 5'5"-5'7". For a young man 5'9"-5'11".

So probably you are going to be taller than almost all girls you will met, and taller than many guys.

But this doesn't mean in Italy there aren't tall men at all. My husband for example is 6'6", so I'm sure you'll met also guys taller than you ;-)

Answer 10

174.58 cm or 5'8.7"

Answer 11

Is this one the only one concern you have about Italians ??

Don't come here then since you'll find surprising how bad all of us we are ...!!! Yours it's really a dumb question and I shouldn't have wasted my time in answering.

However now I'm on the way and then you should know that,  in spite of your concern you'll be taller than most of us, we have something hided that's long enough to reach you even if you keep standing up. Just in case you can lying down (that I prefer).

Good luck !!!

Answer 12

I went to  Italy a few summers back and I am the same height as you. I went to Rome, Florence, and Venice (sorry, not Naples). I didn't notice that the men were that much shorter than me, most seemed to be as tall and some even taller. However, I didn't see many tall Italian women.

Italy is a beautiful place, the people are friendly and there is art everywhere. You are going to love it!
