I've travelled alone to various cities in Europe (London, Vienna, Prague, Berlin, Milan, Paris, Rome, Florence) I use the internet and Rick Steves' books to find and reserve hotels, I always use public transport (rail, metro, bus, I organize my own day trips/tours,I leave valuables(passport, airline tickets, railpass) in the hotel safe, I use a money belt for ATM & credit cards, I know basic phrases in Italian, French, German and I'm usually in the hotel by 9 or 10 pm. Yes, there are beggars and street musicians/acrobats/dancers looking for contributions. I've never felt at all threatened and so far, have had only pleasant interactions with both "natives" and tourists. |

I'm travelling thru' Italy for 2 weeks with my daughter, staying at hostels, in late Sept.-Oct. So far plan to visit Rome,Pompeii, Pisa, Florence, Milan, Mont Bianco and Venice by train. Any other 'must see' destinations and how do we know if we have to pay supplements on our 'kilometric' ticket? We speak no Italian! |

I am leaving for Italy next week and am looking for some information from someone who has done any traveling in the Potenza area, or anywhere in the mid south to south. Is it safe to drive at night? How long will it take to drive from Pescara to Potenza? |

Sicily was my home, both in Palermo and San Juseppe Jato. Have a page on my paintings there on my website, with some stories. http:www.artistexpo.com Is there a way I can get in touch with the families there via email?...........Do you have an email directory or is there a server in San juseppe Jato..........The family names are Maniscalco? Maria and Lino Maniscalco and Tanina, They were in there late teens in 1968. Any information will be appreciated. Thank You, |

Hello! I'm from São Paulo, Brasil. I want to know if I can use tennis shoes in Roma, Venice e Firenze, even when I get lunch in restaurants. Sorry for my "English". |

Yes, every tourist in Italy wear tennis shoes! One advice only: shorts are not allowed in major churches as St.Pietro in Rome or the Chatedral in Florence. |
