    Keep your money out of reach of pick pockets at the trevi fountain.

    If anybody comes up to you dressed as a Roman Centurion or whatever, tell them to * off. Try and get a photo took with you and charge ye.

    If you're doing Vatican tour, definitely book ahead with the queue jumping tickets.

    If you're getting a taxi from the airport, don't get in an unmarked one.

    Just watch pick pockets in general, it’s rife on tourists.

    Both.

    It's decent pizza in Rome, but nothing earth-shatteringly amazing.

    Have never actually been to Italy.

    Hear the Napoli and southern stuff is always better grub, but I'd imagine for a pasty white boy from Scotland, any Italian pizza would be top notch.

    Another pasty white Scottish boy here... had pizza up a mountain while skiing in Italy. Top notch...however even when it's -4 outside I still got the worst sunburn imaginable on my forehead between my hat n goggles :56: looked like a right fud for months.

    Just can’t get enough Depeche mode
    I was in Bergamo for work back in May and couldn’t believe how bang average the food was. I love Italian food over here but everything i had over there was pretty * IMO and we were eating in decent restaurants as it was all paid for.

    I have heard that the further South you go the better it gets.
