Tom savored every bite
of the food that has made Italy famous.
When you eat pizza
use your knife and fork please!
Europeans do not separate the pie
into triangles or squares
and pick it up with their hands.
NO! NO!
Properly cut it,one piece at a time
and then use your fork!
Even at outside cafes, that only serve one kind of pizza
(take it or leave it) on a paper plate, silverware is given with individual plates. Also keep your knife and fork in your hands at all times, don't give yourself away as American by resting the knife on the table.
Tourism, being a major industry, annoys some and puts money in the pockets of others.
On your bumper driving is the norm, as is almost running you off the road, complete with rude hand gestures. (ask Tom) Skinny babes, with red tinted hair, have the "why are you here" glare well practiced. (personally,, I think they need to quit smoking, it doesn't look fashionable with Gucci clothes)
Hotel Villa Foscarini located in Mogliano Veneto
(15 miles north of Venice) was so perfectly Italian.
Croissants, espresso and fresh fruit were a delicious breakfast.
Innkeepers spotlessly kept the property and greeted us with welcoming charm and flair.
European countries (especially eastern)
register your passport number when you are a guest.
Italy now also asks for a signature on a departure form,
that is turned over to local police departments,
when checking out.
