    Gipsy children, normally in groups of 4 nr 5, are expert criminals. While one of them tries to divert your attention by showing you something, even a piece of cardboard, the other pick your pocket. Try to avoid them if you see them coming. If you are forced to walk by them, just let them see that you know what they have in mind and they will leave you alone. However the children can be easily spotted. More threatening are the pic-pockets that operate on the buses. Be especially careful on number 64 (Termini-Vatican) and on the Underground which are used mostly by the tourists.

  • These are events that you probably didn't plan on, including transportation strikes, demonstrations, protest marches and processions. In Rome, the political capital of Italy, it is common to have protests and marches throughout the center. You may find bus routes diverted and at times, certain stations of the metro will be closed.
    Strikes are often announced early and then called off when the parties reach an agreement.

     Taverna Trilussa is just amazing. I agree...I loved the Ravioli Mimosa and the buffalomozzarella and everything else too. I went there three evenings in a row. love that place and will soon go back.
