Not as long as they use a spoon and/or knife to eat their spaghetti and bucatini...

In Geneva, my good friend Antonio Placente (from Palermo), became rather upset when I attempted to use a spoon to affix spaghetti strands to my fork. He politely demonstrated the proper technique. I am now so continental.
It is also much easier.
We traded CDs when I had to leave. He gave me Bocelli's Romanza, I gave him a Sinatra compilation.
The attached experiments used Barilla brand No. 1 spaghetti. Something else Mr. Placente turned me on to. Still buy it to this day.
Man, I absolutely love those Barilla commercials...
They don't blow your ****ing ears off,
and they seem to approach you as a 'sane and reasonable' person.

Unfortunately, Barilla is my second choice in pasta.
The 'DeCecco' brand is my first (They don't TV over here):
