Hi sebastiano, Do you not have concerns about security, if any old passer-by can access your network ? I know wi-fi passwords can be 'cracked', but I'm not sure I'd just allow anyone to just park outside and 'log-on' ? S

Welcome to the community........it has certainly provided me with LOTS of invaluable info over the years...... re the tourist tax.........I have to say I have not noticed this, perhaps because we live here it has escaped us ? It does appear to be in the major cities, there is a link here......... http://www.etoa.org/policyareas/tourist-taxes/italy S
Cucciolo, Well done, a great 'clear the air' comment............the content of your link is super, my comments were not meant to directly criticise, I felt just the photos alone would suffice...... Best of luck and enjoy your travels, S
