I left my postcards for the last minute and now it’s Sunday and the Poste Italiane is closed, and I’ve been to two tabacchi so far and none have stamps. I leave early tomorrow morning so I can’t wait for the Poste Italiane to open. Does anybody know of any tabacchi in Rome that are open on Sundays and carry stamps? I was able to get half the stamps I needed from a tabacchi in Firenze this morning and mailed half my postcards from there but it seems it won’t be so easy in Rome.

In the last year I’ve gotten into the habit of sending postcards to friends back home whenever I go on a trip. It started out with just one postcard friend and grew to three, then six or seven, and is now growing past that. I like writing and sending postcards, but it’s starting to get to be a lot since I know a lot of people who would appreciate receiving postcards from my travels, and I could easily see my list getting up to 20 or so. That seems like a lot to send at once. Are there guidelines about only sending them to your closest friends?

TLDR if you are traveling, how many postcards is a normal amount to send from your destination, and how many is too many? Who makes the cut?

If I want to take some amateur photos with my friends for a hobby project (not professional, not paid, shot on a phone, no tripod or lighting or other equipment, but we will be in costumes) in a city park do I need a permit?

I feel like I’m in a weird gray area because wedding photos and media projects need permits according to the city website, and it’s not a real wedding but our costumes are wedding clothes, and it could maybe be considered a “media project” in terms of it’s technically a project (a personal/hobby one) and photos are technically a type of media, so the city website is unclear for my situation. I’m worried we might be mistaken for a real wedding photo shoot with no permit.

TLDR do I need a permit for my friend to take some iPhone pictures of me standing around in a park wearing a dress and a veil?
