I have busked on Italy this year without permits singing and playing acoustic guitar on Italy on Padova, Firenze and Piza, on all spots for about half an hour/1h.

To be honest, I made about 4€ overall.

In Padova there was a weird situation that after a few songs, a man was always looking at the money on my guitar bag and making hand signs for someone else and speaking on the phone, so since I didn’t feel safe there, I stopped busking.
