I go to Italy on vacation a lot. It was/is actually mandated by regional governments - shops and tourist attractions had no choice, they had to close for 3 to 4 hours at 12.30pm lunch time or face fines.
It may be civilised, but the siesta often drove me batty. It was not unusual at around 1.30pm to see lots of other German tourists doing what we were doing namely, twiddling their thumbs "
Well...we've finished lunch...how do we kill the next three hours?"
