Certainly can be rude and not very courtious....unless of course you are a custom in their shop, and even then...

I'm sure as far as a cultural city goes, it'd be far more to your liking. I encourage you to get a copy of the book from the library and read it, as it has a lot about the history of the city in it.

Whilst London is largely metropolitan and has lost much of its Britishness (though not all), Rome is still charmingly Italian at its heart. Love it.

When foreign people ask me "where are you from?" I always answer: "I come from Italy". Only after, if they want to know more, I say " I come from Sicily". I think I understand how you felt when you were in Rome, though, I believe Rome is among the citis who represent Italy, I just love Rome! Arrivederci! Salvatore Ciao!
