Clothing Advice--Rome, Positano, Capri
We're leaving in a few days. Any suggestions on what to bring for Positano and Capri? I'm assuming what people wear in summer is more casual than in other places. Are shorts OK during the day? Capris at dinner?

In europe local adults don;t wear shorts in cities -only in resorts or while actually doing athletic activites. If wearing shorts (or with bare shoulder/upper arms) adults will not be admitted to Saint Peters/Vatican - and may or may be admitted (or harangued by locals) in other churches. (Shorts are considered children;s wear and disrespectul in church.)
You can wear shorts in cafes/casuale trattorias - but better restaurants will frown on them - as they would in the US.

We live in a tourist destination in the western US. At dinner a few nights ago there was an Italian mother and her teenage boy. Both were dressed kind of sloppy. Shorts, t shirts with logos, flip flops. Do you think they researched what Americans wear before they came over?

SEGUE: Is Quisisana THE place to stay and is it worth the money?????? Are the basic rooms overlooking (gulp) the street okay? Are there any other hotels close but less expensive?? Or do we just bite the bullet....
