I traveled to Rome in 2010, and found this little video was immensely useful. I followed all her recommendations and had a wonderful time. I'm due to return...anytime now!!

The best tips keep your good work. thank you.

Just booked our flight to Italy for May, thanks for the tips!

I'm from Rome, you're totally right in everything. Before coming, study on internet where to eat and things to see. You see that a restaurant is touristic when you see specialities from many italian cities in the same place. If they have lasagne (bologna), caprese(naples), tortellini (romagna), gnocchi alla sorrentina (campania), it's usually a tourist trap. if you want to eat lasagne you gotta find an all bologna restaurant, and you eat good lasagne.

Nice job, very practical guide.

Wow this video has 9 years old...wooooow....lovely

Thanks!!!

WARNING: Describing Italian drivers as "malleable" is dangerously understating the truth. Piracy would be closer to the truth, unless you are like the nun who craves for a quick death. Before you start walking, signal your intentions by sticking your arm out and wait till a car stops.

Thats right Skola has to be able to do the Dan Ryan.

And bus 492 watch that one

As a 19 year old white American male, I did a tour of Europe where I made it a point to have at least one fight in every country. I would only fight people who seemed to be average fighters for their country, not good and not bad so that my study could be objective. I had an especially difficult time starting a fight in Italy because noone wanted to fight back. I had to resort to spitting in a guy's face in order to get a reaction, but the fight only lasted for less than a minute before he said he was done. So I wouldn't recommend visiting Italy.
