* = Blog entry has been updated.
For your specific interest, please search the web for further information using Google .

The above links as of this date are/were current. If anyone has any suggestions for any other additional web sites and/or links for reference, please feel free to post your comment and I'll update this blog entry.

NOTE: If you want to leave a comment, please leave it in ENGLISH.

Broken links: Since November, 2005, I have written over 500+ blog entries with 1,000's of corresponding links/URLs for Moving2Italy2, covering a varied and wide range of topics. In the event if you come across a broken link or a non-functioning link/URL, please post a comment and report the non-functional link. I wish to thank you in advance for assisting me in the ongoing maintenance and the updating of this successful and informative blog.

Please note: I do NOT represent or endorse any of these links nor do I receive payment for listing them in my blog.

When trying to find an apartment or vacation accommodations in Rome, it's best to ask around from friends, colleagues at work, etc. for recommendations. I have listed a few above that I have found on the web. The same goes for restaurants.

Where does one start? There are hundreds of guide books and/or web sites where you can choose which one you like that provides the information on Rome for your style and type of travel. It's a pick and choose thing. Some portions of books and/or web sites may have information that you are interested in for this trip and you can choose to ignore other information not of interest to you.

HINT: If you own the guide book, take only the portions that you are interested in with you. Tear out the pages you want and leave the rest back at your home/apartment/condo or wherever you live. You do not have to take the whole guide book with you on your travels.


The above is just a sampling of what can be found about, for or on Rome on the Internet. I'll be returning to this blog entry and updating it with new items.

That's it for Tuesday, 13 December 2005: martedì, 13 Dicembre 2005
