Tips for people travelling to Italy!

Marco offer some helpful hints about social codes in  Italy:

1. Using the phone on the bus, talking loudly, could be annoying
2. Not respecting queues could be rude, but a lot of people do it
3. Smelling bad on the bus will be considered a lack of respect
4. Blasheming in public places wil not be accepted.
5. Making racist remarks is against the law
6. Not helping people in trouble will lose you many friends
7. Not leaving tips for waiters will make you appear as cheap
8.  If you’re invited to dinner by an Italian taking a small present, for example flowers,  will be considered a kind gesture, but pay attention you should never take “Chrysanthemums”, Italians use them for dead people in cemeteries
9. Having a business appointment with an Italian could be surprising: being five or ten minutes late for him is normal even if he expects you to be on time.
10. As sometimes Italians judge people by their dress, appropriate dressing for different occasions will give you an opportunity to not be considered shameless or without self respect.
