Pickpockets and Purse-Snatchers: Beware of Pickpockets

  • As in every big city you must be aware of your surroundings as pickpockets are always ready to relieve you of your purse or whatever is available. One friend was in a cab and as he opened the door to exit he reached for his camera, but someone grabbed it from the other door of the cab and was gone before he could catch them.

     Very beautiful page, as your usual ad my great memories from eternal city. Hmm... I must revisit it to visit Villa d'Este now :-)

     You are right about Alitalia,,even on the commuter flight the wine was flowing! Can you believe I didn't see one darn gypsy..I even went looking for them!

     I remember the Victor Emmanuel Monument. You can just walk down from the train station on Via Nazionale to get there. Did you see lots of cats around the Colosseum?! :) There are hundreds of cats living near by.
