Went to Rome a few years ago, was not impressed.
To think, Rome and Greece were once the center of the Universe.

I made a two-day stopover in Rome and came to three conclusions:
1. Crime (mostly by pickpockets or snatch-and-grab) is a big deal, and you have to think about what’s going on around you at all times.
2. The city is loaded with scenes from the ancient period. It’s also loaded with street hustlers, boozers, and heron addicts.
3. Great food is in abundance and you can’t lose weight while visiting the city.
I would go back again, but I would be very picky about what I see and how I do it. This is not a place for the accidental tourist.

I’ve heard people describe it as being smelly, crowded, and unsanitary.
Been the a couple of times. In a classless move they built a walkway in and over the fountain.
A cabbie with a degree told me they tax his pay 40%.
He says they suffer the communists, socialists, unions, government workers and the Catholic Church.
He tried to come legally to America but no luck. I told him to never mention his education, paint himself brown and to then illegally cross at the Mexican border like everyone else!
