Is there a student discount?
'Sconto' — 'SKON-to'. Two syllables; stress on first. 'Studenti' — 'stu-DEN-ti'.
Ask at any ticket counter — museum, theatre, train, cinema — before paying, as discounts are not always displayed prominently.
'Sconto' means discount. 'Per studenti' means for students. In Italy, student discounts are widespread — from 10% to 50% off — but usually require a valid student card ('tesserino universitario' or ISIC card).

Italian state museums offer free or heavily discounted entry to EU students under 25. The Uffizi, Colosseum, and Pompeii all have student pricing. Always bring your card — staff regularly request to see it.
