That's a metaphor that's at the border of being imaginable.

I thought that was simply Italian.
Joke aside, as a student I was living with some Italians (and some Indian, British and French as well), and I would never use hysteric as a description.
Easily excitable is quite fitting though.

I found the same with Greeks when I shared a flat at uni.
One second, all is peace and love, then next all hell breaks loose: screaming, shouting, hands / knives waving, throwing objects. Then suddenly it's over, and it's like it never happened.
Strange.

And the speed of talking, like it's a competition.

In Italy speaking IS a competition

In Germany too, but they use volume instead of speed.

We use both! I went twice in London with my GF and I noticed that we Italians are LOUD. Extremely loud! And we move a lot while talking, it's quite funny to notice... I wonder what other cultures think of us

Actually quite normal compared to some others. Your oddities are (mostly) visible on the outside.
And I can assure you that most foreigners had more wtf moments about Sweden and Swedes than each others.
But then again, learning to live in a country is completely different to visiting.

Surely you mean hysterically waving their hands about or criminally moving their hands about?

No, that's normal speech pattern in Italy

That is why I never go anywhere near that Ikea place.
