Category: Leaving Rome.
Phrase: É gratis!
Translation: Its free.
One of my roommates had planned out his whole trip so that he would throw nearly half the clothes that he brought away right before he left. Someone convinced him this was a waste of clothing. To prove that it was not a waste since no one else would want the clothes anyway, he used the above phrase to try to part with the clothes (which happened to be two pairs of socks and three shirts). He made this offer to everyone in our apartment and several Italians. Needless to say, no one took him up on it. This is useful for those with overfull suitcases. Otherwise it is rather rare since nothing is free in Italy. You even have to pay for water at restaurants.
