| 0:00.0 | Italy throws a thousand questions at you before you even pack a bag. |
| 0:03.9 | Plugs, taxis, three-course meals, whether Florence or Sienna is the smartest based, |
| 0:08.6 | and how to get around the northern lakes. |
| 0:10.9 | Today, I'm answering questions that came straight from our app user community. |
| 0:15.1 | They are all useful insights whether you are a first time or frequent visitor to Italy. |
| 0:26.0 | Thank you. whether you are a first time or frequent visitor to Italy. Ciao at all and benvenuti to Untold Italy, |

| 1:33.9 | Italy is more than a checklist and the questions you sent in prove that because not one of |
| 1:38.7 | them is how do I get to the Coliseum. These are real questions that sit in the back of your |
| 1:43.4 | mind when you are knee deep into |
| 1:45.3 | the research. They're the ones that feel almost too practical to ask, but then they're also |
| 1:50.2 | ones that actually matter when you're standing on the street in Florence with a flat phone and |
