  • I didn't have any problems, but there are a couple of standard warnings to be aware of. Always be aware of pickpockets, especially in tourist areas and on crowded subways and buses. Also, be very careful when crossing the street. Pedestrians DON'T really have the right of way and traffic is wild.
    Taxi drivers in Rome, as in every other city I've ever been to, are crazy drivers!

     I've studied this painting in college and I think it's GREAT that you got to see this in person! Right on!

     This feeling of "center of the universe " is really true in Rome. i also felt the simmilar way on Place de la Concorde in Paris.

     Hi Mark, your Rome page was great. We visited many of the same antiquities...hopefully, we can return to Italy in 2007.

     Mark...all I can say is WOW! You've done such a beautiful job with a comprehensive evaluation of wonderful Rome. You have some mighty fantastic photographs that entice us to return. Thanks ever so much.
