- Tipping is not a part of Italian culture. So, when coming to hotels, restaurants or shops in Italy, tourists do not have to leave a tip, giving a tip or not depending on tourists. Thus, if tourists satisfy with the service, they should leave a tip.
- Italian is proud of their language, so they do not pay much attention to other languages, including English. Tourists can check in at the big hotel, or order food in the large restaurants with English, but if they want to buy street food, affordable stores, ask for directions, or ask any interesting something, they should learn Italian.
