  • Uh… fires? In italy’s houses? Rarely. Our houses are mostly build in concrete, bricks and other non-flammable materials (the old ones are build in stone). So it’s rare to see a fire here.

    And yes, we do have windows:

    If you live in the ground floor, most of them have bars, usually on steel (but sometimes in stone/concrete if the house is really old).

    If you don’t live in the ground floor, we don’t have bars, but the shutters are made of very resistant material so they are not easy to break. Also, windows are usually with double glass (to insulate the house better). They’d have a hard time breaking in a house here.

    If a fire happens, you usually enter through a window (the shutters are not usually down) or simply ask a neighbor for a key.

    However, if someone here wants to rob a house, they’ll try drilling a hole in the wall to enter because they know is the fastest way compared to the rest.
