Cultural Tip
In Italy, many historic hotels and wellness centers have a 'bagno turco' modeled after the traditional Turkish hammam. It's customary to go in nude, wrapped in a towel, and to follow a sequence: warm room, steam room, and finally a cool rinse. Respect the quiet atmosphere and avoid loud conversations.
