I too have an "Italian clock," mine is next to the California clock in the kitchen, I look at it often during the day, each time thinking about family and daily events in Italy...At the moment it's six PM California time and three AM "Old Country" time, just one glance told me that. In Italy clocks are like traffic lights and signs, just a a suggestion! Beth!!!

Especially about being half hour late - it seemed like nothing we ever attended started at the time advertised! Living there made us less aware of time, a very good thing. The funniest thing we noticed however was that shopkeepers never failed to notice when it was 1:00pm - time for "riposo" and the stores closed exactly on time! Sono in d’accordo!

In all my time in Rome, I really never noticed a clock on the streets and certainly not any like that on Via Veneto. I wonder what else escaped me! Thanks. I will be more attentive on my next visit.
