Luggage And Bags: Anything's fine really! Up to you! Depends on how you like to travel.
Me? I had my faithful hardcase suitcase! I love that suitcase -- it's purple and I've got stickers on it! :)
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Utmost necessity -- A very very good pair of walking shoes. I brought a pair of TEVA sandals, but these did not provide enough support. Also, a pair of flat shoes which provided NO SUPPORT! The horrible consequence?
I couldn't walk when I got back! Really! I had injured my feet soooo bad that it was painful standing!
Rome has cobbled streets, so it's vital to wear walking shoes with support!
Other than that, light clothing is alright as summer gets really hot and all you need is a good windbreaker and a light sweatshirt for layering if it gets cold... quite unlikely though... but just in case!
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: The usual recommendations -- plasters, lip balm and medication for a queasy stomach.
Photo Equipment: Now, Rome is sooo beautiful you'd want to take lots of photos (so is the rest of Italy!), so -- bring your own film!
It's really expensive buying film over there.
Add 5 more rolls to what you initially planned to bring! :) That should be a good estimate! Really!
Miscellaneous: Eat gelato, you can drink from the water fountains -- so bring your own bottle for free water refills, and drink lots of wine! :)
