Exactly that happened to me last month. Took a cab from FCO to my hotel, the fare was 63€ (it was in the Triestino
) and I... forgot I was in Italy and not in Rome. I paid 65€ and told the driver to keep the change. He immediately grabbed out luggage and brought it into the hotel lobby... Never seen such a happy cabbie before.
