we spent our last day in Italy there (10/17), wandered to Piazza Navona and environs, Port. Ottavia (great free site, BTW), and went to Colliseum late in day. All seemed normal, everywhere we wandered. no sign of demo effects.

We arrived in Rome on October 16 and left on the 20th and also saw nothing affected at all.

I know this posting is not exactly timely but Just came home from Rome on Monday night, Oct. 24, after arriving there on Thurs., Oct. 13. The next day, Fri., we took a weekend trip to Florence so were not in Rome when the worst of the demo/rioting occured on Sat. but read about it while in FLorence. Came back from Florence Sunday night and didn't see any thing the rest of our time in Rome. Glad we were in Florence when this was going on and did not see any violence here.
