1. Things you must follow when in Italy
Many people have Italy on their travel wish lists for obvious reasons. The nation in
Southern Europe is home to some of the greatest Mediterranean coastline, fashion, art,
and architecture in the world.
For ages, devoted Italophiles and frequent travelers have been drawn to Italy by the
language, people, and wine. Having said that, Italy is a complicated nation with unique
customs and etiquette that you must follow not strictly but to show some respect to them
and their custom.
1: Avoid skipping art when in Italy.
It's simple to get sidetracked in Italy by the historic sites, boutiques, and eateries.
However, it would be a grave error to ignore the modern and Renaissance art scenes. In
addition to the Michelangelo-painted ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican is home to
over 100 art galleries. Modern masterpieces by Picasso and Magritte are widely collected
at the Peggy Guggenheim in Venice. The birth of Venus, an often imitated but never
reproduced work by Botticelli, is on display in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
2: Dress modestly when visiting the Vatican
Regardless of your political views on the Catholic Church, you must respect it to enter
the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter's Basilica, and the Vatican Gardens.
Visitors must adhere to a severe dress code that prohibits shorts, miniskirts, headgear, and
anything with low cut or no sleeves. Basically, cover your knees and shoulders. And yes,
“No Selfie Stick”.
3: Dinner may begin at any time after 7:30
The evening meal isn't eaten as late in Italy as it is in Spain, but restaurants frequently
open a little later than we are accustomed to in the United States. Plenty of eateries
remain closed until six or seven o'clock, especially away from popular tourist
destinations. Restaurant owners frequently operate on a flexible schedule, opening and
closing whenever they feel like it. A restaurant's closure for three days so the proprietor
may visit family in Naples is not out of the ordinary.
4: Cappuccino is not permitted after breakfast
Keep in mind that Italy has many traditions and viewpoints related to cuisine. One major
rule is that cappuccinos—or any coffee beverage with milk—should only be drunk in the
morning and never following a meal. Hot milk and a full stomach are not a good mix,
according to Italians. You are welcome to order whatever you like but be ready to endure

2. at least some side-eye and maybe a brief lesson about digestion. Every day is fair game
for espresso.
5: Leaving tips at restaurants is not necessary
Since waiters are frequently members of the restaurant's ownership family and typically
get a decent wage, tipping is not customary at dining establishments. However, you
should expect a few odd charges in your statement. American diners frequently find the
"coperto," which is effectively a per-person fee for sitting at the table, to be the most
perplexing. The cost must be disclosed on the menu or in the establishment, and for
bigger parties, it may become expensive. The most popular tourist destinations in Italy
frequently have a "servizio" fee, which is required by law to be clearly stated someplace
like the menu. The "servizio" can range from 10% to 20% of the total price and doesn't
always go to the personnel.
