The short answer is yes - hand gestures do have different meanings between the north and the south. Naples is the capital of hand gestures - there it is possible to have a discussion at 200m using a sort of tictac. There are subtle changes between hand gestures in Sicily and Naples too - you can buy a dictionary of hand gestures! If I have time Ill scan some of them and post them here.

Yes, Thanks Ram. I am interested and would be grateful if you could. I wonder why Naples has become the" King" of hand gestures? I have a visit booked for Naples with my wife and will probably bring it forward to do more research.
