Perhaps you've watched Italian movies, cooking shows, and read The Decameron in school. Servers at the Olive Garden know you by name? You're a regular at the local Italian pizzeria, and you know what calamari is. So, culturally, it won't be much of a shock for you...or will it?

Listed below is a brief summary of different cultural observations. While you can enjoy your visit without worrying about Italian culture, I cannot suggest it. Observing such differences will truly enrich your Italian experience.
