What is Italians reactions when they see a lady wearing a head cover?

Question

I am a Muslim girl and I intend to travel to Italy soon. What precautions should I consider there to be in the save side?

Answer 1

by an italian: if you mean that you are just covering your head with a tudong, it's perfectly fine with us.

(Our grand mothers used to cover their heads last time, especially entering churches....)

It's a bit more uncommon to see a woman fully covered up with a burka but after all.... (especially with summer temperature ranging around 40C)

Tutto il mondo e' paese!

(every country has it's way of doing things)

Answer 2

Be happy, in Italy this is normal. Maybe only if you go in some little city in Lombardia or in Veneto and you're alone you may have some problem.

Answer 3

don't worry at all... some may look at you but never comment so do anything bad.... enjoy your time and eat some pizza

Answer 4

Answer 5

Italians are nice to newcommers. I am sure they wont judge you. Italians aren't like the kind of people that laugh and stare at people. SO i am pretty sure you will have no problem!

Answer 6

I am not italian and i am from the US but i can tell you this when i see a woman who wears a burka sometimes i can't help but wonder nothing dirty but its just the curiosity of what the face looks like because i have seen alot of muslim woman that wear the burka and there eyes are always so pretty

sorry for what i say i mean no disrespect just had to get it off the chest but to answer your question i don't think you have to worry they are probably use to seeing it

Answer 7

There are a lot of Muslims in Italy, so it isn't strange seeing a girl wearing a chador. Don't worry and I hope you'll enjoy yourself in Italy.

Answer 8

shoot her shoot her :) just kidding get someone else to answer

Answer 9

There's nothing much you can do...it really depends on the people there. Just be who you are and be proud of your religion. I don't think that many people will pick on you because of that.
