There's a lot of amenities once past security checkpoint with duty free, shops, and food available for purchase. Typically you'll get on a bus to get to your plane so expect that at this airport.

I saw a police officer busy checking someone passport on the other side and tried to catch his attention. He said that with minors we had to do manual check. No where was a written message saying so, and waisted a lot of time. Because I speak Italian I was able to help a family behind me as well that had same problem.
