Ciao Matteo! Welcome to NAM! I have pictures from when I was in Rome! Guess when that was? About 20 years BEFORE YOU WERE BORN!!

I was in the US Army at the time and had a great visit. Spanish Steps, all the touristy stuff. Your english is very good. How did you learn? Love your car! Best wishes! ciao!

Thanks to everyone!

@oldtrojan66:
Which base were you stationed at?!
I spend a lot of time in the streets near Piazza Di Spagna...too much shopping

I learn english at school and when i was with my relatives in USA..I don't think that is very good..

Anyway, thank you again for the compliments!

@MBR:
In these days, the temperature is around 86F...Not so good to visit Roma

You should wait several months to have a livable weather!

Thanks again to everyone

Matteo, I was actually stationed in Frankfurt Germany, but flew to Vincenza (sp?) for a show and had free time. I visited Rome and Pisa, what great memories! Glad I have slides!

All the Italians I know that speak English always claim they don't speak it well, yet it is lightyears beyond my Italian.

It may depend upon where you are going. Here in the Northeast, its still warm, but starting to cool off. I'd ballpark it at highs in the 80s and 90s(°F) and lows in 50s or 60s (°F).

Last year was simply brutal. Here's hoping this summer is a bit more mild.

Welcome to NAM! Beautiful MINI, and you live in a great city. My wife and I visited Rome February 2006, and even spent some time around Piazza Di Spagna. We had a great time and hope to visit Rome again.
