Interesting... So I have a Mavic Pro, which is small but still large (and loud) enough to get on others peoples nerves. I saw the air and thought the size did look better and less attention (negative) grabbing. Glad to hear the Italians were so chilled about it. I am always very aware of flying anywhere near people with guns or target areas, just happened that most of Roma was such an area! Good idea to ask permission :)
