Memes give us a break from the seriousness of the Internet. Every scary news article is contrasted with a hot new joke that spreads like wildfire to every corner of the web. One of my favorite recent meme explosions has to be the Italian memes. My Italian friends find them hysterical and I enjoy taking a few minutes out of my day to spam them with some High-quality Italian memes. So for your enjoyment, I have compiled some of the best Italian memes.
