Bad experience. Travelled to Italy for 2 weeks from USA. Drove through 50% of the country and got robbed in a small town of Vinci - home town of Leonardo. Our car was broken into right next to museum. Have photos of suspected thieves. Reported to police - they didnt even want to take the police report. You should have seen their faces when I told them that I took a picture - as if chief of police knew the thieves started to apologize and explain that in Italy there is no chance of finding the thieves. Ohh, my picture even had the license plate of their car - he didnt even run database to find who they were. Eventually I insisted and he did file a police report that money and passport was stolen. Nowhere on the report he attached that he has a picture or that license plate number
Passports, computer, 3k cash, suitcase of clothes! Ouch ohh, and I just found out that exactly same thing happened to my Bulgarian friends when they drove to Italy a year later. Broken windows and all stolen items.

ahahah this dude is really cool. But me as a german which is very often in italy has knewn much of the things- BUT not that with the pizza! Its very cool that i can switch the pizza pieces when i eat pizza with my family or friends so everyone is not just eating the same pizza all time, really dont understand the italians in this point. I was in tourist spots but also on a coast near rome and in the south very are not so many or only italien tourists and it was never getting boring, italy its always the same but difficult. I remember the people as a lot frendlier than the germans and im also very interested in italien girls but unfortnetly I just can say some basic words/ sentences and im always not sure if the girls can speak english: ( my mother can speak italien but if she would talk to a girl for me it would be very cringe XD

Not visiting Italy. I have better things to do than have to worry. about offending thr locals after spending money on airline tickets. The Swedish people are much more easier to get along with. They are NOT loud and noisy. In this day and age many people are going
hungry and Italy is full of vain, selfish people who are worried about how food in America is prepared. They are a nation of whining people who want everybody to be like them. Save your money. Don't go

Your TIP would be appreciated by waiters. The coperto or servizio amount go to the restaurant, not to workers but as they have a regular salary instead of american minimum wage, TIP is often 1-2 euros per person or a few more if service was very good. Tips in Italy are often put together and then divided among all the staff, including the kitchen staff but excluding the owners. (I am a former Roman restaurateur)

Sorry, I'm Italian. Please continue to tipping waiters in restaurants or elsewhere. We do it often. Or at least, most of us. The coperto is not tip. It goes to the restaurateur and you pay to be able to eat inside the restaurants. Tips instead are for the waiters, who deserve them.

3: 50 it is not a metter of style, but rather of respect, because: San Marco, San Pietro, Santa Maria del fiore, etc are places of worship, and even if you are not a believer in god, you are asked to dress well for the respect of believers

I actually had a great, authentic pizza on a patio within view of Pisa! And I ate it with the knife/fork/hands combo. However, I would add dont carry a purse bc the pickpockets & scammers with clipboards were everywhere.

It was a good laugh, and I loved the waiter coming in with an Aperol Spritz! Not much more to add, although you might add that Italians don't drink a cappuccino after 11. 00 o'clock; -)

From bitter experience in Rome don't expect motor cyclists to give way to pedestrians even on pedestrian crossings. Selfish bastards where they believe the law doesn't apply to them

The fact that Italians don't know English can be true for the older generation, but nowadays we learn it from grade 2 to grade 13 (yes, in Italy school has one more year.
