ITALY Readers's Tips - Let me start by saying that you're my hero.d like to think that if I were facing a major challenge like you have in the last year,I'd head off to Rome with your determination. suggestion is that you post this question on the message board at Fodors.m.heir Europe board is used much more frequently than this and I'm sure you'll come up with the answers you need in no time.en you return,I hope you'll post a trip report to encourage others with challenges to visit this magnificent city
