Thanks for this video, very informative! I'm 2nd gen American-Italian and both sets of grandparents are from Italy but I did not know about the 1948 cases and if they were born before Italy became a country - luckily I still fit that criteria so definitely would like to get dual citizenship.

Hi Dave great video. thank you. I rented twice out of Rome. Both times using Ok Mobility. They were excellent. No surprises or hassles what so ever. I'm planning on using Discover Cars, after watching your video and hearing a few other good reports about them. I'm going to using them out of Napoli. The rental company that I will be renting from is called Rental Premium out of the airport. NAP Do you know anything about them. Good?? Bad?? thank you Bernie from Canada

What's the name for the one where an individual pretends to have a massive penis and waves his hands up and down to simulate masturbation? I saw this a few times at Italian football matches. One guy spent the entire first half, doing this to away fans and not even watching the match.

Hello. I came across this video looking for tips for driving in Italy. We rented a car for 4 days to go outside city and go more countryside and it’s been an adventure. I’ve only just been driving in between Milan and Verona. Trying to find only blue zones to park, it seems people go 20-40+ over posted speed limit on major highways. Fuel here because it’s by liter so comparing to US ends up being about $7/gal. The people not knowing which lane they want to be in. The amount of roundabouts and doesn’t seem like there is a system and people go where they want and then switch lanes. Seems like there is always tolls if you want to drive on major highways and it’s just a thing they do here. Thanks for video

I am Italian-Brazilian and I would like to ask Italian-Americans what is the main reason for leaving the USA. In my case, leaving Brazil for Italy or another country in Europe makes sense due to the lack of prospects in my home country. However, you were born in the United States, a country that, in theory, offers more opportunities. So what drives this change?
@DavidsDoseofItaly
@DavidsDoseofItaly 16 күн бұрын
To be honest, I initially left mainly because I was in love with my Italian heritage, and I wanted to get better at the language and get to know the country better Also, when I left, I was 29 and I really didn’t have anything in the states. I didn’t have job a house a family or anything like that I also had some reservations about the US and its culture, but that really wasn’t the main reason 15 years on I am relatively happy here although it depends on the day I think another big reason why I left is because I prefer the healthcare system here. It has its problems, but honestly, I will take my chances here.

I am researching renting a vehicle in Italy (picking up at the Florence airport). So far every agency I have contacted informs me of a requirement that my drivers license must be held for at least 12 months before they will rent me a vehicle. Is this a policy or law for all rentals in Italy?? Can someone confirm this for me please?
@DavidsDoseofItaly
@DavidsDoseofItaly Ай бұрын
It looks like the person in the image is asking whether a 12-month driver’s license holding period is required by law for renting a vehicle in Italy, specifically when picking up at Florence airport. The answer to this is that in Italy, most car rental companies do indeed require that renters have held a valid driver’s license for at least 12 months, but this is more of a company policy than a legal requirement. While there isn’t a specific Italian law enforcing this, it is common for rental agencies to ask this from renters.
