none of the things is offensive at all. Italians appreciate if you try to speak our language and usually they try to help you in any language they can know (most of the time Italian and gestures!

), expecially if they can make a little business with you!

No, it's absolutely false. Pisa has been the arch-rival of Livorno throughout history and the Livornesi dislike the Pisani deeply and heartily. Meglio un morto in casa che un Pisano all'uscio they say... (better a death in the house than a Pisano at the door).

Then in 1284, after the Battle of Meloria, Genoa defeats Pisa decline of Pisa as a Marine Power. Porto Pisano is abandoned by the Signoria of Florence also because they did not trust the Pisani to the point of leaving the fleet in their hands.

So you can imagine, it's centuries that almost all the Tuscany "hates" Pisa
