Why are people in Florence,ITALY so NASTY? I went to Florence, Italy found the people to be very rude and nasty and mean.. I am a stylish New Yorker and was starred down, given dirty looks and some lady made a look of disgust while i was talking. Whats their problem? I've been to Paris, London, and Germany and had no problems at all. Whats wrong with them? I did nothing wrong and had no attitude. I mind my own business, dress very well and conservative....for example. Me and my husband sat down for dinner, speaking quietly, a large group next to us kept starring at us in disgust the entire time. Obviously its because we are American and they heard the accent.. Another time we had dinner, a man and his wife both would not stop starring at me even when i starred back, they would not back down.. I enocuntered this alot, someone is starring at me, i stare back, they will keep starring and not stop.. Nobody does that in the US, its beyond rude.. ANother time I was at a musuem, as soon as I started talking, a lady turned around and gave me a dirty look and acted like she wanted to hit me.. Obviously these people have a problem with Americans and are very racist!!! I have been to Rome and did not encounter this problem.

Can you recommend some good language schools in Florence, Italy? I'm visiting Florence for at least 3 months and trying to find an Italian language school. I've come across a ton of schools from google, but it's difficult to differentiate between them. Has anyone ever studied there that can recommend a good school? By "good", I'm taking these factors into consideration: price for intensive courses, price for accommodations (preferably in a private apartment, but a shared flat with other students would be fine also), learning atmosphere of the classes, extra-curricular activities to meet others and learn about Italian culture, and general condition of the school. If I've failed to list something that you think is important, please tell me in your answer. Thanks!

I want to take a day trip to Rome, but I'm not sure if we should get a place in Rome, or if we should try to drive there and drive back the same day. Any suggestions?
