The engine ticks, the capote folds back, and the narrow Fiat 500 slips into Roman streets where history pushes up against modern life. In three hours you thread through lanes and avenues, the Colosseum rising like an old ruler to your right, the Appian Way stretching out under cypresses as if daring you to slow down. The car’s small scale makes the city intimate: a horn, a laugh, and quick stops for tasting bites chosen to reflect neighborhood flavor.
