Culture

Local customs

"Italians value politeness: greet with 'Buongiorno' or 'Buonasera'. Dress smartly, especially when visiting churches (cover shoulders and knees). Dining etiquette includes waiting for the host to start, and tipping is not mandatory but appreciated (5-10% for good service). Avoid loud behavior in public. Respect local siesta hours (1-4 PM) when many shops close."
