  • Rome has many of these unique water fountains around. The water flows freely and it's main source is the mountains before it reaches Rome's aqueducts.
    Many of the aqueducts that were built (between 300 BC to the 1600's) separated high-quality water used for drinking and cooking from water for flushing sewers by accessing different sources. So, take your sports bottle with you and refill as you go.

  • The term graffiti originally referred to the inscriptions, drawings, etc., found on the walls of ancient ruins like in the Catacombs of Rome or at Pompeii. Today this form of graffiti is vandalism and can be seen covering the sides of many buildings throughout the city of Rome.

    Local Customs: Enjoy A Flavorful Gelato

  • Mmmmm! Gelato is "Italy's Ice Cream". It comes in many flavors, made with fresh fruit, cookies, or candies. You can find a shop that sells gelato almost everywhere. Just look for a group of Italians, or tourist that are busy, licking away their scoops of cream and you'll soon find the gallons of this colorful, tasty frozen treat to choose from. A gelato a day keeps the doctor away!
