Tipping in iTaly

Sit-in RestaurantIn many restaurant, the bill comes with the item “servizio”,that’s about 15% of the value.Some people think that the service charge goes to the peoplewho wait your table, unfortunately in the majority of cases itgoes straight to the owner. The idea of a “standard” tip of 15-20%, doesn’t exist in Italy.Italians don’t tip that much, even when they do leave a smalltoken, and Italian waiters don’t expect that much.We recommend to tip only if good service is received. In thiscase, it’s customary to leave a 5-10% tip.

DriversFor Taxi Drivers a tip of around 5-10% would be ideal, althoughthis depends on the city. A water-taxi in Venice usually receive a tip of 5%, since theservice is already so expensive. If the service is prepaid, 3/5 € is perfect for a transfer, accordingthe distance.For a half day disposal, we suggest 8/10 € while for a full daydisposal a minimum of 10 € is required.For coach driver in a tour, a daily tip of 2 € per pax is a good tip.

At HotelIn hotels if the concierge has been of assistance to you and madeyour stay a pleasant one a tip of 10 - 15 € is customary, whilethe chambermaids are happy with a 1 or 2 €.

USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT [email protected]

According to the Italian law, based on the european Communityprovisions, a non-resident visitor may claim a refund for goodsand services tax paid for goods intended for personal or familiaruse purchased in Italy.

HOW TO GET VAT REFUND OR RELIEFYou can be granted VAT refund or relief provided that:the foreign buyer is a eU non - resident traveller;the goods are intended for personal or familiar use and arepersonally carried in the baggage;the overall value of goods exceeds 154,94 euro (VAT included);the purchase is certified by an invoice containing the descriptionof goods, the personal data of the traveller as well as theparticulars of his passport or of any such equivalent document;the goods leave the eU territory within three months after theend of that when the purchase was made;the goods go through some special customs formalities;the invoice is returned to the Italian seller within four monthsafter the end of that when the purchase was made.

CUSTOMS FORMALITIES TO BE CARRIED OUTThe goods purchased and the relevant invoice must be shown atthe Customs of exit from the eU territory.The Customs office, after having ascertained that all therequirements are met endorses the invoice. This endorsementis essential to prove that the goods have effectively left theCommunity territory.The competent Customs office where the invoice must bepresented for the endorsement is the Customs of exit situated inthe state where the eU non-resident traveller leaves the eUterritory for his country of origin. If, for example, a eU non-resident traveller purchases goods in Italy and then goes toAustria, the competent Customs office where all the invoicesmust be presented for the endorsement is the Austrian Customsoffice. However, where the passenger holds a single ticket andcarries out a single check-in being issued a double boardingcard – one for the first domestic flight and another for thefollowing final non-eU destination (i.e. bari-Rome-New York orMilan-Frankfurt-Tokyo) – he can get an endorsement on theinvoice concerning the goods intended for personal or family useby the national customs office located at the departure airport.Note that the goods must be shown at the customs office: if thetraveller intends to carry them by plane, he must go to theCustoms office to declare them before checking in the baggage.Customs controls and the certification required to obtain VATrefund may require a long wait above all at the biggest airportsor in concurrence with the departure of international flightsgoing to certain third countries; therefore, in order to avoidunpleasant delays, the eU non-resident traveller shall be at theairport at least two hours before leaving time.

HOW TO RETURN THE INVOICE TO THE ITALIAN SELLERAs to VAT relief, the traveller, after having left the Communityterritory, must return to the Italian seller the original invoiceregularly endorsed by the Customs office, within four monthsafter the end of that when such a document was issued, thusending a procedure which has allowed him to benefit from thebeginning of VAT exemption.Should the seller not receive in time such a documentation, heshall be hold responsible against the state for the payment ofthe overall amount of VAT initially deducted from the purchasesof the eU non-resident traveller.

This is the reason why the Italian seller, as a precaution,normally prefers that the foreign traveller pays in advance theVAT included in the selling price, refunding it later.In fact in this case the VAT advanced will be refunded providedthat the eU non-resident traveller returns to the Italian sellerthe original invoice regularly endorsed by the Customs officewithin four months from the end of that when such a documentwas issued.

WHO CARRIES OUT VAT REFUNDThe refund is made directly by the Italian seller according to theterms agreed with the buyer when the goods were purchased(for example, by credit into a bank account, credit card, cheque,etc.).Alternatively, there are some TAX-FRee companies that cangrant immediate VAT cash refund when the goods leavethe Italian or Community territory, i.e. without the passenger toreturn the invoice to the seller: however you can use thisprocedure only at the most important airports or Customsborders.More often, TAX-FRee companies provide only a service onbehalf of the Italian sellers (more and more sellers join thesecompanies) assuring a faster VAT refund: In this case, theinvoices issued by the Italian sellers have the logo of the TAX-FRee company which they belong to with the address where thetraveller must return the invoice regularly endorsed by theCustoms of exit from the Community territory.In both cases, however, the services supplied by TAX-FReecompanies imply the payment of a sum which is directlydeducted from the amount of VAT refunded to the traveller.Should the foreign traveller have returned the invoice to theItalian seller or to the TAX-FRee companies authorized to therefund and, after a reasonable lapse of time, he does not getthe refund, he shall contact again the Italian seller or thecompanies above, providing them with all the details containedin the invoice concerning the purchase of goods and the periodwhen they were purchased in Italy.In any case, VAT cannot be refunded directly by Customs offices;therefore, whatever notification the financial administration mayreceive will imply exclusively a control of the Italian seller by thecompetent bodies.

Goods purchased in Italy and directly carried in the personalbaggage outside the territory of the EU: What to do if the goodsare too bulky or too heavyShould the goods intended for personal or familiar use be sobulky or heavy as not to be able to be carried outside theCommunity Customs territory directly in the personal baggage(and also because it is too expensive), the eU non-residenttraveller may have them shipped to his foreign address as notaccompanied baggage, i.e. as “personal goods” which are notdirectly carried by the traveller but shipped to destination byairline. They can be collected at the oncoming goods sectionof the airport.The facility above can be applied provided that the traveller leavesthe Italian territory with a direct flight to his country of origin.This operation is subject to a real air-freight agreement: The aircarrier issues an airwaybill (AWb) and the payment of anadditional sum is required for the transport of goods abroad.In this case, the purchase of goods must be certified by an invoiceother than that concerning the goods checked in or personallycarried by the traveller.

Tax Refund

The original copy of the invoice must be presented to the air carrierfor the issue of the airwaybill (AWb) concerning the goods shippedas not accompanied baggage and will be endorsed by thecompetent Customs office. The Customs endorsement is essentialfor VAT refund purposes. In order to verify that the goods contained in the invoice issued bythe Italian seller are the same as those shipped to destination byairline on behalf of the traveller, the description of the goods inthe airwaybill must correspond to that of the invoice issued by theItalian seller and the name of the consignor of the goods shippedmust match that of the receiver.besides, the personal details (reported in the passport or in anysuch equivalent document) of the foreign traveller in the airwaybill(AWb) must match those reported, according to the Italian law, inthe invoice issued by the Italian seller.In order to tangibly get the VAT refund, the eU non-residenttraveller must return the original copy of the invoice endorsed bythe Customs, according to the terms above, to the Italian seller.

Goods purchased in Italy and directly shipped outside theterritory of the EU by the Italian sellerSometimes, it is possible that the goods purchased in Italy arereally too bulky to be personally carried by the eU non - residenttraveller as “personal baggage”.It is also possible that the eU non-resident traveller leaves Italy foranother eU member state. In this case he may ask the Italian sellerto ship to his destination abroad the goods purchased in Italy.In practice, the Italian seller does not apply VAT on goods whichare not delivered to the foreign client in Italy and ships themdirectly abroad, carrying out all the customs formalitiesconcerning the exportation.In this case, the eU non-resident traveller shall not personallycarry the goods purchased in Italy or show them to the Customs ofexit from the Community territory to have the invoice endorsed;he shall not return, within the relevant time limits, the originalcopy of the invoice either; in fact, goods will be shipped,already TAX-FRee, directly to his house.It is clear however that the Italian seller is supplying in this case areal service to the foreign traveller, which can therefore imply thepayment of an additional sum to the TAX-FRee selling price forthe costs of transport or/and for the carrying out of the Customsformalities concerning the exportation of the goods purchased.

Tax Free Italy StoresIf a store has a “euro Tax Free” sign on its window or doorthis means that the store participates in the “Tax Free Italy”program. When making a purchase at such a store, presentyour passport at the cash register and ask the store clerk toissue you a “Tax Free Shopping Cheque” together with areceipt for the goods. The store will charge you tax at thetime of sale. However, the Tax Free Shopping Cheque willindicate the amount of VAT (IVA) refund that you are eligibleto subsequently claim.Non-eU travellers can claim for the reimbursement eitherat the Italian customs office or at the last eU Customsbefore their final destination outside eeC. Keep the goodsbought ready together with the appropriate bill of entry forinspection by the cuctoms officer(s). Customs normallyinspect the relevant merchandise before stamping the TaxRefund Forms: (a) therefore, if the relevant goods arecontained in your unaccompanied baggage to be checked-infor a non-european destination, you should get theCustoms receipt/inspection before check-in; (b) If therelevant merchandise is contained in your accompaniedbaggage, it is also possible to get the Customs receipt afterpassport control, upon inspection of the relevant goodscontained in your hand carried baggage.Then, you can obtain refund of the taxes of all the TaxRefund Forms stamped by Customs: (a) in cash, byaddressing an eTS desk in the airport (beware to addressthe right one!); or (b) receiving by mail the tax equivalentamounts in Tax-free Shopping Cheques ; or (c) by transfersto your credit card account. A word to the wise about I.V.A.rebates: allow plenty of time at the airport to process yourclaim!

Much of the history of Syracuselacks the necessary supports to be able to describe in detail since natural disasters, invasions and neglect have also deleted thearchives, collections and exhibits. As for the Jews we have a more difficult because, after the expulsion of 1492, were erased thetraces of their stay more than a thousand years, almost fiercely, especially by the religious and the Holy Inquisition. It is also anattempt to darkening of the civil and religious buildings: the synagogue is transformed in the church of St. St. Philip the Apostleand well giovanello occupies the place of Jewish worship.

pRiVaTE aRaBiC palERMO ZiSa CaSTlE & QanaT WiTH lUnCH aT a lOCal aRaBiC RESTaURanT The Muslim conquest of Sicily and parts of southern Italy lasted 75 years. According to some sources, the conquest was spurredby euphemius, the byzantine commander who feared punishment by emperor Michael II for a sexual indiscretion. After a short-lived conquest of Syracuse, he was proclaimed emperor but was compelled by loyal forces to flee to Africa to the court of ZiyadatAllah. The latter agreed to conquer Sicily, with the promise to leave it to euphemius in exchange for a yearly tribute, and entrustedits conquest to the 70 year old qadi Asad ibn al-Furat. The Muslim force counted 10,000 infantry, 700 cavalry and 100 ships rein-forced by euphemius’s ships and, after the landing at Mazara del Vallo, knights. The first battle against byzantine troops occurredon July 15, 827, near Mazara, resulting in an Aghlabid victory.We will visit two specific monuments in the “Arabic” Palermo: The Zisa Castle as well as the QanatWe’re talking about an exceptional piece of underground “hydraulic engineering”, generically called “Qanat” in various regions ofthe planet, especially Asian and Mediterranean, where it developed in a more extended, allowed to intercept the water table, takethe ‘water and transport it to distant areas of use for irrigation and drinking, without concern of evaporation and thus promotingagricultural cultivation in an environment almost prohibitive for the temperature and solar radiationThe construction was begun in the 12th century by Arabian craftsmen for king William I of Sicily, and completed by his son WilliamII. The edifice had been conceived as summer residence for the Norman kings, as a part of the large hunting resort known asgenoard (“Paradise on earth”) that included also the Cuba Sottana, the Cuba Soprana and the Uscibene palace.The Zisa is clearly inspired by Moorish architecture. The name Zisa itself derives from the Arab term al-Azîz, meaning “noble”, “glo-rious”, “magnificent”. The same word, in Naskh script, is impressed in the entrance, according to the usual habit for the main Is-lamic edifices of the time.

pRiVaTE THE VillaS in BagHERia Since its founding, the town has gone by the names of bayharia, baharia, and baarìa. In 1658 giuseppe branciforti, Prince of buteraand former Viceroy of Sicily, built a large villa and established the region as the preferred location for villeggiatura by Palermitanelite. Villas like the fortified Villa San Marco (designed by Andrea Cirrincione) with angled bastions and a drawbridge soon fol-lowed. The area experienced a boom in villa building roughly coinciding with the period of Savoyard (1713–21) and Habsburg (1721–30) rule and continuing for several decades thereafter. The two most striking baroque residences, Villa Valguarnera and VillaPalagonia were designed by the architect Tommaso Maria Napoli in 1712 and 1715 respectively. both were completed only decadeslater. Napoli had been influenced by his experiences in Rome and Vienna and this is reflected in his designs. Other architects andclients like the giuseppe Mariani and the Prince of Aragona also looked to prints of Roman exemplars when constructing the VillaAragona (now Cutò) in 1714. by 1763 tastes were changing. The Villa Villarosa, supervised by the young g.V. Marvuglia, was directlymodelled on more neoclassical plans published by Jean-François Neufforge in 1760. In 1769 one of the descendants of the original Prince of butera redesigned his estate into a well planned town, allowing him to col-lect rents from the inhabitants. bagheria was a preferred stopping point for europeans pursuing the grand Tour in Sicily includingPatrick brydone, goethe, John Soane, K. F. Schinkel and many others.We will visit one of the most famous villas in bagheria, Villa Palagonia as well as Villa Cattolica: museum which keeps some of themost important paints of Renato guttuso. The Villa Palagonia is a patrician villa in bagheria, 15 km from Palermo, in Sicily, south-ern Italy. The villa itself, built from 1715 by the architect Tommaso Napoli with the help of Agatino Daidone, is one of the earliestexamples of Sicilian baroque. However, its popularity comes mainly from the statues of monsters with human faces that decorateits garden and its wall, and earned it the nickname of “The Villa of Monsters” (Villa dei Mostri ).This series of grotesques, created from 1749 by Francesco Ferdinando II gravina, Prince of Palagonia, aroused the curiosity of thetravellers of the grand Tour during the 18th and 19th centuries, for instance Henry Swinburne, Patrick brydone, John Soane,goethe, the Count de borde, the artist Jean-Pierre Houël or Alexandre Dumas, prior to fascinate surrealists like André breton orcontemporary authors such as giovanni Macchia and Dominique Fernandez, or the painter Renato guttuso.
