Say Buongiorno! by nicolettart
From my experience, the local people did not hesitate to help or offer advice when we needed it.. All it takes is a simple greeting like "buongiorno" or "scusami"(excuse me), to ask for help. Try to learn some simple phrases to use. I will never forget the wonderful gentleman on the bus to Trastevere who kindly advised us when we had arrived at our stop. A small gesture which meant a great deal to us. I can give you a dozen more examples like this one!
