On the train from Rome to Milano, I chose to eat. She didn't but,
thinking I didn't want to eat alone, she joined me. Five bucks! "For
what? She didn't touch anything." "She sat at the table. Cuperto."
We each had a gelato somewhere. She sat for a few moments. The price
doubled!

It was probably a scam. If you speak good Italian, they rarely try to
rip you off. Tourists are fair game.

I rather like the national anthem of Italy. The words are bit
stultifying, but the music is nice.

full alert. (It's in Latin because we're better educated.)
