I'm still finding an official confirmation about this. (maybe someone here can help).

Yes, it is as you said, even if royal Stewart and Prince Charles edward are two different tartan. You can wear coth if you want, because bonnie Pirnce Charlie give us (I'm itlaian too) the right to wear his own tartan.
I chhose Black watch waiting to wear the MacKay one when I'll be a member of the Clan MacKay Association.

the right day to wear a kilt it is everyday! I wear it everyday, only I cannot do it at work, but as I end my job everyday I wear one of my kilts and do the things I have to do. There is no need to have special occasion: every day is a kilt day!
Ciao!

Welcome from Denmark.

I have been wearing kilts in Italy several times. No problem, at all, rather on the contrary, I should say. All people, I have met, have been extremely friendly.

By the way, what is the "6 Nations March"? And when is it going to take place?

Welcome to the Rabble! Let us know what effect the kilt has on Italian women!

Last spring my wife and I spent a week on Sardegna. I was wearing a kilt every day (see members gallery). When I next time go to Rome, I shall certainly find an opportunity to wear it every day there too. But I know being a tourist is one thing, being a local citizen is another. Nevertheless, I hope you'll find a lot of occasions.
