you're in italy cause if a direct route is a request coming from a female voice is always available..and if you have to request a direct the girl (if on board) speaks

if you have to choose who's 1st between an italian a/c an a foreign one you put italian cause they don't follow standard speeds..

If you ask IAS to an italian they say "270 kt" , that's the same of the foreign one flying at same altitude.. but observed GS is different...

When you say to DLH/BAW to descent they comply instead of asking: do we have to live now? (italian way)

You're in Italy when ATC has not idea of pilot needs and viceversa..

You're in Italy when accidents/incidents is the only way to change wrong things (but real guiltys never pay)
