Considering the Le Terrazze di Strindberg Beauty Farm in Rome?

Do as Romans do! by icunme
I never considered that aging would be pleasant. However, in my last few years in Italy, it has become apparent that Italians hold a special affection, care, and regard for their elders. It is commonplace, during passeggiata (the evening customary stroll) especially on the weekends, at Sunday Mass, and at dinner to see sons and daughters escorting their parents. I have never failed to witness a younger person give up his seat for an older person - unless the seated passenger happened to be a tourist. So, in Rome, DO do as the Romans do - and, if you see a "senior" standing - give up your seat -- you just might even be giving it to me (which would not make me sad!)
