OOh, actually, this is something I've been worrying about. I'll be going to Italy for ten days(near Naples) in August, and it's the third foreign country I'll have visited besides Brittain and Canada, and the first one where English is not generally spoken. I've taken spanish, but no Italian in my academic career, but I'm trying to learn enough to survive over the next few months. Does anyone know what the Italian sentiment towards Americans is right now, and what sort of important etiquette and culture tips I should follow? Also, how should I dress to be inconspicuous(avoiding things like those damn "fanny" packs, hawaiin shirts and baseball caps are of course obvious whether traveling or not!)?
