Italy is many things, varying by the day. It can be stunning or chaotic, rustic or high-fashion, with its majestic Alps or stunning beaches. This beautiful country is home to picturesque villages and incredible culinary traditions. However, when I think of Italy, the word “funny” doesn’t immediately come to mind. Instead, I envision poetry, symphonies, opera, and the masterpieces of Michelangelo. Yet, puns?
That said, I have a great appreciation for humor, especially dad jokes. That’s why I’ve gathered some of the best jokes about Italy—though you may find yourself cringing and declaring these some of the worst!
No matter your sense of humor — I’m not alfreddo to tell you that I love Italy! Here are my favorite puns and jokes:
What caused the Leaning Tower of Pisa to start leaning?
It got Italicized.

It gives you plenty of time to Rome around.
How do Italians burn 2,000 calories a day?
By leaving the lasagna in the oven too long.
What do you call an Italian with a rubber toe?
Roberto.
Why is coffee in Italy so amazing?
Italians know how to express it well.
What do you call a Roman with a cold?

Oh my goodness! Those were terrible yet somehow still the best jokes about Italy. I prefer to avoid sharing anything that could be considered mean-spirited, so I’ll stick to these questionable puns. There are certainly more ‘jokes’ out there concerning appearance and stereotypes, but I won’t repeat those.
If you’re looking for even funnier material, feel free to check out my collections of pasta jokes, pizza jokes, and a special set of Rome jokes — none of which are included here! 🙂
