Cultural Tip

In Italy, evacuation routes are usually marked with a green rectangular sign bearing a white running figure. Public buildings are required by law to display these signs and to have a posted evacuation plan. When asking for a route, keep a respectful tone; safety matters are taken seriously, especially in schools and workplaces.
