📣 Traveler notes

Italy is recognized for its connection to the Roman Empire, its extensive collection of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and its historical role in Western culture and the Renaissance.

  • January 1: New Year's Day (Capodanno)
  • January 6: Epiphany (Epifania)
  • March or April: Easter (Pasqua) and Easter Monday (Pasquetta)
  • April 25: Liberation Day (la Festa della Liberazione)
  • Meals in Italy can be leisurely and last several hours. When entering a restaurant, greet staff with 'buongiorno' or 'buonasera'. Note that cappuccino is traditionally served only at breakfast; a macchiato is suitable for later in the day. Criticizing food, either generally or in a restaurant, is considered extremely rude.
