Answer on Are italians friendy to filipina?



Hello! I am Italian, I live in Rome. I tell you that Italy in general is not very friendly with the other countries except with the Americans, the rest of Europe and a few other countries. However, I have many Filipino friends and learn the language well if you can conquer the people. This is the truth about Italy, we are a bit 'racist, sorry. As they say here in Italy: In bocca al lupo :DD

P.s. I used google translate: P

Murder One with Anthony La Paglia?

Hi! I live in Italy and a few months ago they were airing what I am assuming was the first season this show on Sky. I really liked it. Suddenly, it wasn't on anymore. Did they do any more seasons of this show in the States or was it cancelled? Or did Sky Italy only buy the first season (the penny pinchers!!).

Just wanted to know if I can look forward to seeing more of this show or not. Thanks!



Answer on Murder One with Anthony La Paglia?



Not sure about what Italy bought but there was another series which was called Murder Two.



Thats where it ended though, after that series. It was on Sky in Britain, both series. So I presume that Sky will show series 2 in Italy sometime.

Taxes for hostess work - trade fairs?

Hi, I work for a PR/event agency based in Italy/Switzerland; we have been asked to organize an event for a pharmaceutical company at GASTRO 2009 (London Excel Trade Fair, November 2009). It is the first time we work in the UK and we are not familiar with the UK tax system.



We are going to hire local staff - more specifically 3 hostesses, 2 receptionist etc for five days.



Can somebody help us:



If I pay each person ? 100 per day, I suppose I will receive a payment receipt.



Will they then carry out all the tax compliance matters and pay taxes on the amount we have paid them? Or is it up to us?. Up to what percentage will the taxes amount, if the income before taxes is ? 100,00 per day?



We would like to be abiding by the rules, but it is not easy to find reliable information ....



I thank you in advance.



Answer on Taxes for hostess work - trade fairs?



If you give them a contract to sign on the basis that they are self employed they should take care of their own taxes and if they do not it is their responsibility. Below is a link to the government tax office web site. Have a look through there to see what you can find.

How much money should I take on my trip to Italy?

I'm planning a trip to Florence Italy with my boyfriend. We plan to go to Rome also and maybe Sienna. How much money should we bring with us?



Answer on How much money should I take on my trip to Italy?



How long do you plan to be here, exactly when are you coming and what do you need the money for? Does this need to cover lodging and transportation as well as food, entrance fees and souvenirs?



You need to provide more details about your trip to get a useful answer, but generally I count on spending about 25 to 50 euro for a meal when I'm out exploring here in Italy. I usually go for the local specialties and try both a first course and a second which I don't do at home. You can eat well for less. A pizza is around 8 to 13 euro. Panini or pizza by the slice is roughly 4 to 7 euro. It will generally be cheaper and better food if you're out of the immediate vicinity of the tourist attractions, but you don't have to go far. Restaurants post menus where you can check prices and what's being offered to find something that suits your needs.



Entrance fees depend on what you visit. You can find costs for the attractions you're interested in by looking up the websites on the internet. Florence: http://www.firenzemusei.it/00_english/ho…

Rome: http://mv.vatican.va/3_EN/pages/MV_Home.… , http://www.rome.info/museums/cards/

There are many things to see and do that are free like the Pantheon and fountains of Rome, Piazza Michelangelo, & San Miniato al Monte in florence, etc.



If you need the cost of a place to stay, you can use http://www.venere.com/hotels/italy/ for hotels or a site like http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/ita…



Souvenirs depend entirely on you. Set a budget and stick to it.



Trains are a good way to get around - you can check schedules and prices here: http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/homepag… Or there are bus schedules here for Siena - Rome or Siena - Florence: http://www.sena.it/index_e.htm

How much would it cost to go to france, italy, and england for 3 weeks from NYC?

Including airfare, food, hotel, etc.



Approximate guess?



Answer on How much would it cost to go to france, italy, and england for 3 weeks from NYC?



Hi, that depends on how budget you travel. I spend 1 month in europe and I took 3000 with me. You can check for budget hotels and prepare you food at the hostel o eat on little local places, no the touristic ones.

Check out some hotels here, they are only low cost: http://www.clickbed.com/?idlb=01

I'm looking to stay at a Four Star Hotel In Rome, Italy?

I plan to visit Rome, Italy in July 2010 and want to stay in a safe, clean, reasonable hotel in the "Center" of Rome where my English speaking teenagers and I can stay and access most of the tourist attractions within walking distance. Any Suggestions?



Answer on I'm looking to stay at a Four Star Hotel In Rome, Italy?



A good bet is with a program/company like HotelsCombined. They search and compare various hotel bookers like Venere, Booking.com, Priceline, Travelocity, Hotelbookers etc etc and then return the best price from the lot for a specific hotel (or hotels).



You can visit http://www.romanlife-romeitaly.com/hotel… for advice on booking hotels in central Rome i.e. what to check before hand: What floor is the room on, does the hotel have a lift (many of the old buildings in Rome don't), is breakfast included in the price, what does breakfast consist of etc etc

And this page http://www.romanlife-romeitaly.com/centr… explains a bit more about hotelscombined and how to get the best results.



When you have finished your search click on "Price" and it will list hotel prices from cheapest first.



For advice about the areas of Central Rome you can visit http://www.romanlife-romeitaly.com./rome… you will find information on each of the areas of Central Rome, advantages and disadvantages, things to do, tourist attractions and sights, transport options and nightlife.



IMHO I would suggest areas like Spanish Steps, Trevi fountain, Campo de Fiori (plenty of nightlife) Pantheon, Piazza Navona and Trastevere (plenty of nightlife and great choice of restaurants).

Termini as an area is quite seedy (there have been some criminal incidents there, it does not have a good reputation amongst Romans) and the biggest reason why most stay there is because it's close to the station. I think there are more important reasons when deciding on an area of Central Rome.

Enjoy.

Kayden Estates: has anyone else not been reimbursed the cost of inspection flights as promised by this company?

We have recently bought a property in Italy through this company. The agreement was that on receiving a deposit for the property Kayden Estates would reimburse the cost of the flights for 2 people. We paid the deposit in July 2008. We tried and tried to contact this Manchester based firm to get our flight costs back as agreed by email and were constantly fobbed off with excuses including 'the finance department are all off with flu'. Now they will not answer emails at all. It's quite fraudulent! We are still waiting. Others beware!

You might want to report this to the UK's Better Business Bureau.

If an Indian (India) guy went to Southern Italy or Southern Spain, will he face just as much racism as Blacks?

I heard in Southern Italy and Southern Spain they hate Black people and stuff and that is where the racist part of those countries mainly is. Say an Indian (India) person, lets assume the lighter skin type, went there, will he face just as much racism as a Black person would there?



Answer on If an Indian (India) guy went to Southern Italy or Southern Spain, will he face just as much racism as Blacks?



Ouch, I don't hate blacks or Indians and I am southern Italian. So how are you going to say we all hate them? For what? In Italy there is not a lot of racism, it is blown way out of proportion thanks to some old Fifa Cup Games. But what some people have to see is how Americans view and think racism is different than Europeans views/thoughts. We don't have the same history or anything. In Italy if you sense any negativity towards some blacks, arabs, etc its because there is a lot of immigration from them and Italians are not used to it so they might get annoyed, but if you just show you are respectful and not looking for trouble you will get treated well. I'm sick and tired of seeing these kind of questions really, its dumb to generalize a whole group of people

What if you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go?

Hi guys btw I love yahoo answer. Any who let's see I would love to visit Japan, revisit paris the european fashion is amazing. Italy, and and back to the U.S. La, California. There's many more but that will take forever so I just gave you a few of my top choices.



Answer on What if you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go?



For me it would be any or all of the countries bordering Iguazu Falls in South America. Since I live in Italy and have a home in Colorado in the US, I've already seen a lot of Europe, North America and the Caribbean, but have never been to South America although I've been close enough to see the coast of Venezuela. I particularly like waterfalls and Iguazu looks spectacular.

Last name origin?

Anyone have a clue what the origin of "Rohme" is? It sounds like Rome, Italy. The H is silent.



Thanks for any information.



Answer on Last name origin?



It's very German. You'll find it probably came out of the central regions. It's found in many Lutheran records, so there was clearly a population of it in the south near the Palatinate and Switzerland. I've also come across it in the northern Swiss provinces.



The most famous German I remember with the name was Ernst Rohme, who was a pain in the neck to Hitler. On the Night of the Long Knives, Hitler had Rohme assasinated.



BTW, where pronunciation is concerned, it's pronounced Rome in Germany, too.

Looking for Medieval Italian Armor?

Hi, I'm really getting into my history as well there is a renisance (did I spell that right?) fair coming next month. I looked into my history and heritage and found that I would be a Baron in Italy.



Low rank yes but its still kinda cool.



So for this fair I wanted to dress up in Armor that a Baron of Italy would wear. As well as possibly swords and things.



If someone could direct me to a site that would sell what I'm looking for, please post it in your answer.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.



Answer on Looking for Medieval Italian Armor?



The Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, England has a huge amount of Armour - much of it Italian, because Italy made the best armour.

See:

& the Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan, Italy has a load

Answer on What is veneto italy like?



It varies a lot. A lot of people in the Veneto are fairly fair and could pass as Austrian and yet a lot of people look typically Italian. There is no easy answer as the region has seen people arriving for centuries from all over Europe. I live a lot of the year in Veneto so feel free to ask if you need anything else. http://www.venice-italy-veneto.com/venet…
