Gelato!!! Tip2.

What to buy?
What to buy, then? In most places they offer three sizes of cones and three sizes of cups, plus they have their own special super-size offers. The "cono piccolo", the small cone, costs in non-touristic places 1.50-1.70 euros. The biggest one costs 2.00-2.20 euros and the middle one something in between. However, during my one-month stay in Italy i NEVER tried anything else than cono piccolo, because they are HUGE!

This is what is included in the 1.50 price of cono piccolo:
- A normal size ice-cream cone.
- Three tastes of ice-cream.
- Cream. Loads of it.
- Sometimes a decorative bisquit.

HERE IS A REAL GOOD INSIDER-TIP, which you have no other way of knowing! In non-touristic places, like Fano, people are very generous in the gelaterias. So, if you ask "Panna sotto, grazie" (meaning: cream inside), before telling the ice-cream-man what tastes would you like, you will get cream INSIDE your ice-cream cone!!! Isn't that awesome? And it doesn't cost anything extra!

NOTE: In touristic cities like Riccione or Rimini these standars may not apply. Compare the prices and ask locals for a good and cheap gelatería. All locals have an opinion about this issue!

"The state of the Page."

This page is under construction. I'm writing tips as fast as I can, so I hope you will come back sooner or later to see the updated versions.

I'm going to have loads of tips and also photographs, but right now I'm only writing the tips. Once the tips are ready, I'll add the pictures.

Right now I only recommend you the Local Customs tips, specially the four tips concerning ice-cream! I would have found those tips extremely useful if i had seen them before going there! :D

Hope you will enjoy my future tips,
