My ex-girlfriend is Italian-Sicilian.  She was a very loopy person.  We 
used
to go around and around and around with each other.  Very passionate.  But
enough to make me, well, loopy! ;)

It strikes me too, Italian seems to be (numerically) the second-best
represented nationality on this list.
Might it be a consequence of our passionate looping language, where the
sound of words can be legitimately employed to create self-gratifying
cycles...?
Or Macchiavelli's inheritance of looped diagonal strategies?
Or a sequence of 50 years of the same government changing approximately 60
times re-arranging in a different sequence the same people?
Or the pleasure of watching the Mediterranean waves looping on the shore?
I can think of many reasons, whether any would make sense I'm not sure.
As it happens I am Italian too, and been in the loop for quite a few moons.
