DO OBEY the Italian laws. Follow police instructions and don t attempt to offer resistence since there are on the spot fines for speeding offences and if your unable to pay-your car may be impounded. Don t also purchase flick knives which are available there but illegal to carry. Expect not to find work easily in Italy. Even helping with grape harvesting etc., unemployment is very high.
Jobs require some fluent Italian and special skills also.
Lock hotel room doors-especiallly balcony doors. Put any extra cash or documents you may have in the hotel safe. Keep a separate record of your passport number and date and place of issue together with other details of your travelers cheques as an added security measure. All rights reserved.
