Rome is the scam capital of Italy. A few examples . . .

• Long, indirect taxi rides from the airport to inflate the bill
  
• Bottled water that arrives at the dinner table already opened
  
• A prepaid hotel bill that is wildly inflated at checkout
  
• And the gas station attendant who says the car needs 2 liters
  of oil because he did not put the dipstick in all the way
