  • Wherever I turned, it seemed that someone was demanding a big tip from me. Especially by the Colloseum, where men dressed as Gladiators accost tourists and get their pictures taken with them. They then demand you to give them money, although they won't say this before you take the picture. My friend tried to give one of these rip off artists a few lire and he insulted her.
