🎧 LINGUAGGIO DEL CORPO: la stretta di mano

Shaking hands at the beginning of a meeting or during an introduction appears to have originated in the Middle Ages, when it was a way for knights to show their right hand was unarmed and thus inoffensive. However, on an emotional level, having both hands held out during the handshake establishes a reasonable distance, which is especially important between men, but also between a man and a woman if they've just met. In this episode, we'll explore some nuances of the handshake and the various impressions it can convey depending on how it's given. Enjoy!
