    • NEVER pay full price for any souvenier !!! Make a very low offer and arrive at your original value. I think it is almost an insult if you don't negotiate.

     Largo di Torre Argentina. This should be the name of the "cat snctuary" in Rome. Ciao!    		Chicagogirl04 Thu Jul 1, 2004 00:18 UTC
     Your comments about pickpockets were really funny. Thanks for telling another side of the story.

     the wine bar would be the place for me to go :-))    		Geisha_Girl Fri Jul 11, 2003 07:54 UTC
     Last time I was here for 2 days. Slept thru a Sat night dressed in my party clothes. Went to mass at Santo Pietro & had money to burn but nowhere to spend on Sunday. So true about pickpockets. Had Drunken Master moves ready but didn't need em. Great page!
