Cultural effects from tourism are that Tourist from other countries would bring along their culture and it may cause clash with the Italians. These clashes may create friction between locals and tourist. An example would be the way Italians greet with Japanese people. Italians would give handshakes and smile vibrant whereas Japanese greets with a bow. In addition, more Italians are picking up English as their second language instead of their own dialects. This is due to the increase in tourism whereby the general language that is usually spoken would be English.
Festivals and events so far have not been affected by tourism. The events are held traditionally without the need to commodify. As for food served in Italy, pasta is still being the most popular however there are food fusions happening in Italian restaurants whereby Italian recipes are being combined with other countries cuisines and served.
