A Russian woman visited Italy and revealed one strange law in the country

A Russian woman visited Italy and revealed the peculiarities of houses that she found strange. She shared her observations about local rules and laws in the blog “Alone in a Strange City” on the Zen platform.

The author noted that in Italy, buildings are built from the ground floor. "The first Italian floor is equivalent to our second, the second floor is our third, and so on," she explained.

Moreover, in the country, it is not the houses that are numbered, but the entrances - this is common in old neighborhoods with very dense buildings. The blogger also noted that many Italians indicate not apartment numbers on their mailboxes, but names, surnames, and even occupations.

Another oddity, the Russian woman said, is the ban on replacing external shutters on your own. "You can't install shutters and blinds on the windows at your own discretion, repaint them or remake them to your taste and color - no matter whether you live in a rented apartment or are its owner," she wrote. According to her, this is important for preserving the overall architectural style.

Earlier, another Russian travel blogger described the differences between European countries and her homeland. According to her, Russia will never be the same as Norway or Finland .
