Currency
Salerno’s currency is the Euro. Commonly used small coins are the 20 cent, 50 cent. The two main coins are the 1 euro a gold-coloured ring and silver-coloured central disc coin, and the 2 euro silver-coloured ring and gold-coloured central disc coin. Paper bills come in €5, €10, €20, €50, €100, €200 and €500 denominations.
Electricity
The electrical current in Italy is 220 volts, 50 cycles alternating current (AC); wall outlets accept continental-type plugs, with two or three round prongs.
You may purchase a universal adapter, which has several types of plugs in one lightweight, compact unit, at travel specialty stores, electronics stores, and online. You can also pick up plug adapters in Italy in any electric supply store for about €2 each. You’ll likely not need a voltage converter, though. Most portable devices are dual voltage (i.e., they operate equally well on 110 and 220 volts)—just check label specifications and manufacturer instructions to be sure. Don’t use 110-volt outlets marked “for shavers only” for high-wattage appliances such as hair dryers.
Smoking
Smoking is not permitted in the Congress facilities. Public health regulations prevents smoking in public buildings, on public transit and in all restaurants and lounges, except open site.
Liquor Laws
In Salerno the legal drinking age is 18; many bars and restaurants are open until very late in the night in some parts of the city. In Italy there are stiff penalties for drinking and driving.
