Culture and ReligionThough many Italians are Christian, every town or

village has at least one Catholic church.

When visiting a house of worship in Italy, you should probably avoid wearing shorts, short skirts or skimpy tops, although you’re rarely asked to leave. At St. Peter’s in Rome, women must cover their shoulders, as it is not polite for women to show their shoulders and much skin.
