Do you pay for bathrooms in Rome?

USING A PUBLIC PAY BATHROOM IN ITALY If you use a public pay bathroom, you'll pay a small fee (usually €0.50 to €1.00) by inserting Euro coins into a machine or paying an attendant. Occasionally, the bathroom will be 'free,' but you're expected to 'tip' the attendant (€0.50 to €1.00 is fine).

If you ask locals “Do you tip in Italy?”, they'll explain that while they sometimes leave a small tip, it's generally not necessary. In Italy, gratuity (or una mancia, pronounced oo-nah MAN-chah) is considered a bonus for exceptional service. And it's not often that you'll find a tip jar at a register.
