As you well know, every country has its own customs, its own habits and its own rhythms.
Travelling is wonderful because it allows us to open our minds, to fill ourselves with ideas, to acquire a critical sense, to accept others for who they are .
In short, told like this, it may seem all well and good, but sometimes in the midst of our travels we find ourselves a little disoriented.
How many of you have ordered a cappuccino at lunch and been looked down upon? How many of you have ordered a latte thinking you were getting some kind of macchiato coffee? Or how many have shown up for dinner at 6pm to find that the chef hadn't even arrived yet?
These are routine scenes (sooner or later we will tell you about all our gaffes), so to spare you a few nasty surprises and a bit of embarrassment, we have decided to put together a guide to Italy.
In this section you will not find tips on what to visit or where to go for an aperitif (this one here) or even which beach is the best (I would take a look here if I were you).
