You step off the gangway into the salt‑stung air of Civitavecchia and find a driver waiting with your name. The Mercedes minivan hums toward Rome, the coast shrinking behind you as the city’s layered skyline grows—domes, bell towers and the distant curve of the Tiber. From the Pyramid stop the electric tuk‑tuk takes over, nimble through cobbled arteries, drawing you past the Colosseum’s weathered arches and the Pantheon’s ancient oculus.
