Funny system in this country ... Normally the power in a state is divided into 3 groups (executive, legislative and judicative) controlling each other so no other group would gain absolute power. In Italy though, they go a step further. They have two sets of police forces. The ordinary police (la Polizia) as you know it in most western European countries and the other police force ( i Carabinieri). I have been told that the carabinieri actually have their roots in the army forces. But why have a competition between two "equal forces"? Do they control each other? Do they have to do so? Is it necessary? Who do you call? Ghostbusters...

In Rome you're never supposed to be too busy in order to not have time for a chat here or there. cosí fan tutte - e tutti --- everybody does it Especially when being visibly a tourist you will find this attitude among natives in customer service. They will have all the time to chat with each other, capable of leaving you waiting for... just as long as the conversation happens to take, no matter what. And if you should have the impertinent habit of interrupting and claiming to be served, you might even achieve it, but this will be rewarded with an arrogant "tssseh" and a demonstrative look away.
