Differences

 A few observations about when I first traveled in Italy 30 years ago and today. Things that have changed or are gone

• A table for the night at a restaurant. Table turning is a thing here (not all places but more and more).
• Asking "Permisso" when entering a store.
• Having to speak much Italian (everyone speaks some degree of English or uses a translate app).
• Travelers learning a few words of the local language to both show respect and grease the wheels of travel.
• Quiet respect for cultural differences. Americans, Brits, Russians, doesn’t matter, don’t seem to respect that cultures are different, they expect their cultural norms to be followed.
• Getting shamed for getting coffee with milk after noon. 
• Taking your receipt with you when you leave a restaurant.
