Italy is the most and least authoritarian country in the world. On the one hand, there seems to be a regulation about everything. On the other, nobody pays the slightest bit of attention to the rules. For instance, in internet cafes you're supposed to show your passport now, as stipulated by new anti-terror laws. But although the sign proclaiming this gazed down sternly from the wall of the internet cafes I used, nobody ever asked me for a passport.
I remember being in Rimini, Italy in 87 and seeing cops in tall black boots with machine guns clearing a park full of kids who where crashing there. It seemed so contrary to what I had experienced while there. Would they stop you from using the internet if you where from a specific country?
No, our legislation is still not *that* mad. They would only ask your ID, to have a complete profile of everyone who passed there by, in case someone would do sort-of Al-qaeda activities from an internet point, wouldn't matter if you're italian or whatever else.
