Bravo to the Authorities.,,,
I dont like Italy. When I was there in 2000, a side street vendor charged me 20 euro (equivalent) for a sandwich. It was stale bread too.. What a ripoff.
This story of the Japanese tourist couple - they had only pasta, water and a bottle of wine.. getting ripped off just shows how dishonest some people can get.
When my Japanese friend went to Rome a few years back she was also ripped off. She had ordered something for 5euros only, but they charged her 20. When she complained, they reduced it to 10... Sick!
