Only been there once, but I have to say the ATC was without doubt the worst I have ever come across. I had read the Notams and G/S was out as u/s and the contoller cleared us for an ILS sidestep proceedure aproach! When asked if the g/s was operational I was told no. So I said will the approach be a loc/dme then and was told yes.
Whichever way you say it, that is s
t atc!
No negative Italian remarks from me although in Genova we were told to park on stand 401 without the finger! If anyone can tell me what the finger is I'll be greatful.
