"In Verona, it is important to be respectful of local customs and traditions. It is considered impolite to be loud or disruptive in public places, such as churches or restaurants. It is also important to dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local language and to avoid speaking English in public, as this can be seen as disrespectful. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local cuisine and to avoid ordering dishes that are not typically found in Verona," wrote a member who made the move to Verona, Italy.
