For the passport issue, since Iβm a US citizen, I get the additional credit card sized passport as well as the normal book type. I leave the book in my rental and carry the card. Iβve only been asked once for a passport in 3 years of traveling in Italy and showed the card to the police in Palermo Central station.
I find it so interesting that anyone living in the United States would question the safety of Italy.π€
Good point. π

I donβt believe we have such a card in Canada but this is a great tip for Americans.
