🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a true Roman summer with temperatures peaking at +33°C (91°F). The sun is intense, so high SPF, hats, and light linen clothing are essential. Pro Tip: Look for the nasoni (curved iron fountains) scattered throughout the city; the water is ice-cold, free, and perfectly drinkable—keep your bottles filled!

Rome's most elegant "living room," built over an ancient stadium. Kids will love the street performers and the dramatic Fountain of the Four Rivers. In the 17th century, the square was flooded in summer to create a "lake" for aristocrats to splash in.
