Features: With the deepening of China's reform and opening-up, an increasing number of Chinese people are stepping out of their homes to study, work, and travel abroad. Italy is a country with beautiful natural scenery, a long history, splendid culture and arts, and developed modern industry. It is the birthplace of the Renaissance, a land of music, a holy land of international fashion, and a major country in world football. The friendly relationship between the Chinese and Italian peoples has a long history. Since China's reform and opening-up, cooperation between the two countries in fields such as culture, arts, science, education, and economic and trade has been continuously developing, and exchanges between people have become increasingly frequent. However, due to the prevalence of English in Italy today, it is ineffective, creating a language barrier for people traveling to Italy. Therefore, we wrote this book hoping to help everyone overcome some language difficulties. The book mainly introduces the Eternal City—Rome and related content such as urban transportation, tourism, dining, accommodation, shopping, communication, and emergency solutions. It also briefly introduces Italian customs and habits to remind people of the issues they should pay attention to when interacting with Italian friends and during sightseeing. We only hope that this book can serve as a small but practical guide for Chinese people who are newly arriving in Italy.
