Being fortunate enough to have traveled to Italy numerous times, I've experienced this first hand. "If you " re late, you " re late", this is the attitude in Italy. Time does not seem to be important there. For example, my cousins and I had plans take a boat to Sicily one day. The boat was to depart at 9: 00 am. "We " re n...
