Every country has its unwritten rules. That one can make local people smile or a shocked raised eyebrow when a tourist gets it wrong. After mistakes, your feeling during the trip can be a mix between shock and shame, that turns days of your vacation into a mortifying experience. But don’t worry about italian etiquette: a few simple tips about do’s and don’ts in Italy will help you feel at home from the moment you set foot in the Belpaese (the beautiful country).
Let's be honest, the following Italian travel etiquette is mostly about food and… food. In Italy food is not only a fuel for the body, but it is history and tradition (typical food can be different even from one street to another!).
