He's Italian, you're a girl.
Get used to it
No, try to control your emotions and have a talk with him. No tears or arguing, even if you completely disagree with what he says. You'll achieve absolutely nothing with arguing. He probably has a soft spot on you so play on that card.
Oh, oh...and even when you don't need or want to go out somewhere, ask him if you can go. When he says NO, then accept it without arguing. Make an impression that you're obeying his orders. Soon he will change, you'll see.
