Why would the 2nd or 3rd floor in Italy be the 3rd or 4th in America?.....

Because the first floor to us is the ground floor to them (and most Europeans). The second floor to us is the first floor to them. I don't know why.

Sorry to bring this one off topic, but you can impress your friends and family with some useless knowledge on American vs European floor counting styles
