  • We had very bad experiences with fruit stand (one in Rome and another one in Siena) but just because we weren’t aware of the costumes. So here is a piece of information for you: We were trying to buy fruit and my husband picked one peach and the guy went ballistic screaming in Italian NO SE TOCA! NO SE TOCA! (Translation: no to be touched!) he grabbed the fruit from my husband's hand and turned his back and didn’t serve us! Apparently you are not to touch fruit in Italy…you should wait for the guy to serve you!

  • I always thought I was a maniac driving…until I was in Rome. Those little cars that seem sooo cute…don’t let it foul you! They are insane! They go so fast! They don’t really care you are walking enjoying the view…they will run you over if you don’t move!

    Traffic: Tables right on the street!

  • This is awesome.. Don’t get me wrong.. But the majority of the street in Rome lack of sidewalks. So if you are enjoying a nice glass of wine on the tables outside…well be prepare to “feel” the cars right next to you as the tables are right on the street!. This is amazing.. And the sensation is kind of weird! But that’s the whole Italian experience!
