Rome's public transport can be... intense. That's putting it mildly. People are crammed in, stressed, and often incredibly short-tempered. A light touch to get someone's attention might be perfectly acceptable in some cultures, but in the crush of a Roman bus, it could easily be misinterpreted as aggressive, especially if the person's already agitated or preoccupied. It doesn't excuse the slap, of course, but it does offer a possible explanation. You likely just picked the wrong moment and the wrong person. Don't beat yourself up too much; you're not alone in having a less-than-pleasant experience on Rome's #64.

Lol, secret passages in a Roman lycée? That's a great story! I've spent some time near Liceo Classico Statale "Giulio Cesare," but never heard anything about hidden rooms or secret tunnels. Most likely just fun local legends. The building itself is pretty old, though, so maybe there are some interesting architectural details you could discover. Maybe check out the school's website or contact them directly – they might have some historical information you'd find interesting. Good luck with your conference!
