Italy is one of our favourite tourist destinations but, no matter how much we visit and love it, some of its cultural habits remain baffling.

Credit:In Italy, you run the risk of breaking a tooth or choking on sawdust-like crumbs if you eat a biscotti or any of its regional relations, although you might survive a slightly chewy amaretto. Okay, many are designed to be dunked in coffee or wine, and for dessert Italians wisely have a preference for fruit. But come on: just across the border, France and Austria offer lovely lessons in delightful baked goods.

This is a skill to be greatly admired but it’s often impossible to understand how it happens. How did those cars – admittedly small and with bendable wing mirrors – get between those two trees, up the footpath sideways, or into a parking space the width of a burial plot? How can they possibly be so close to walls and yet unscratched? Creative parking becomes ever more magnificent the further south you go.If Italians ever have milk in their coffee, it’s at breakfast.
