🌤 Weather summary and notes

🌤 WEATHER SUMMARY & NUANCES: Expect a true Roman summer with temperatures soaring between +28°C and +34°C. The sun is relentless, especially on the white marble of the monuments. Clothing: Light linens, a wide-brimmed hat, and high-SPF sunscreen are non-negotiable. Hydration: Carry a reusable bottle; Rome is famous for its nasoni (drinking fountains) providing ice-cold, free water. Footwear: You will be walking on sanpietrini (cobblestones) and ancient basalt roads; choose sturdy, thick-soled sandals or sneakers.
