You've got to be careful when waving your hands around in a foreign city. A friendly thumbs up to say, "Hey, great job!", in one culture, might mean, "Hey, up yours!", in another.

To avoid such an incident, our friends at Trunk Magazine have deciphered the sign language of the Italian capital, so you can get along with the locals, without saying anything at all.
