Cultural Tip

In Italy, it's generally acceptable to directly ask about prices for services. While politeness is always appreciated, being straightforward about cost is not considered rude. However, it's common to first express interest in the service before immediately jumping to the price, perhaps by asking about availability or the trainer's approach.
