Abstract: Given the setting of the present research, the analysis will cover symmetry from the perspective of behaviors in the cross-cultural communication process. The study is based on a tabular list of intercultural communication difficulties between Italians and Poles that I coauthored in collaboration with other project participants under the supervision of Paolo E. Balboni (2023-24). Soon it will be published on the Edilingua website as part of a larger project entitled Italian Culture Series - Project The communication between Italians and other nations.
