Same here. I also went before fire.
Passport Gang...recommendations for Rome

I had zero problems, I think it’s the Africans that are bugging tourists and fkn up infrastructure for the locals that they are mad at. Once they know you’re not them they won’t have any smoke for you. I was there close to a well and had a great time. This pics you posted look a lot like the Amalfi coast, they won’t do with you especially if you road trip it.I used to be interested in Italy. I wanted to go to the South and see stuff like this
I've heard that Italy and Southern Europe in general are very racist towards blacks though.

I’ve actually heard that before - that most of their hostility is towards the black Africans. This guy I followed did a podcast about it, he went to Greece once and it was awful for him, and when he eventually talked to someone to ask why people were so cold the guy took one look at him and said it was because people thought he was a refugee.

Africans aren't "fukking up" any infrastructure there, let's try to have a thread without
posts about Africans, if that's possible.I’m dark brown skin tone and had no problems at all in Italy. Been 3 times but Rome only once.
Can’t say the same for Spain. I think the difference is that Italians are far more Black people.
The scale of the Vatican is crazy.So brehs, I will be in Rome a couple of days around the 20th of August. Spending a week first in Ancona (where I lived years ago) and have my flight back to Paris from Rome, so I'll be there a couple days. I've been to Rome various times already, but just wanted to ask here if anyone knew some good stuff outside of the regular tourist stuff (done Colosseo, Vatican, Fori Romani various times already), eventually outside of the city, including tips for nice restaurants you may have discovered along the way...let me know!
Grazie fratelli
The coliseum is always busy.
I enjoyed Villa Borghese...the have a massive park in the area as well.
Just keep you camera close, as there is always some amazing architecture around you.
The food is great as well. Like most of Italy.
According to news reports the locals are tired of them using citizens benefits as refugees, it wasn’t a racist post. Locals don’t want anyone there but locals or tourists that come and go, not people sticking around selling cheap Chinese trinkets and some times bringing petty crime with them.Africans aren't "fukking up" any infrastructure there, let's try to have a thread without

I have been 3x and I am conversational in Italian. My favorite part of Rome is the Vatican (private tour specifically) but since you said you’re not interested I’ll give you other recs.
Salotto 42 is a dope bar. Cute Italian girls.
There was a jazz bar on the westside of the city where you go down long staircase when you walk in that had the baddest chicks in the city. Wish I remembered the name but if you can find out it will be worth it.
Armando is my favorite restaurant near the Pantheon. Giolliti for post-meal gelato.
Ill Gabriello near Spanish steps - lively traditional Italian. I’ve been here twice and both times were 100.
Pierluigi near Campo de Fiori - upscale seafood on quiet square, very good
A 10 minute walk from St Peter’s is a neighborhood gem called Arlu’s. Great food.
Vecchia Locanda is where I had one of my favorite meals. Good hearty pasta portions, nice people/vibe.
To get a great view of the city, go to Piazza do Popolo. When you get there. Go up the steps behind the plaza to an area where you can take some great pictures.
Visit the Mamertine Prison (Mamertinum) where Peter and Paul were both imprisoned.
Mouth of Truth is cool to look at.
Spanish Steps at night and eat gelato.
Hit up the Piazza del Popolo in early evening and sit at a cafe and people watch. Walk up to the Villa Borghese park area during sunset.
Trastaverde district (nice for strolling at night).
Also keep your wallet in your front pocket.

Are you black?
You can walk around Rome at night, apparently it is a whole different view than the day time.

Breh how long is your trip gonna be in total? That seems like a lot to squeeze in with the train rides plus you need at least 4-5 days in each city (except Venice, unless you're interested in La Biennale). Anyway if you do it the best thing would be get in Paris, then the fast speed train to Milan and catch a train to Venice, from there down to Rome to finish your trip. Seems like a lot though tbh, but to each his own
I plan to stay like 6-7 nights… get their first day and relax in Rome. Next day earliest take a trip to Venice (4 hours) then chill out there and come at the latest train back to Rome. Chill and watch Rome and take a train to Venice or the next day. Then Milan. Seems all like 4 hour rides. All I think I need is a full day at each spot. Only one I’m worried is paris. If it’s actually a 20 hour train ride. I might not make that one. If it’s 12 hours, I take the midnight train and get there right in time… we shall see though. I might just change up and stay a night at each spot and get a room.. just the logistics of booking more than one room fukks up my mood. Lol
You are going to wake up really early to take the train to Venice? Why don't you stay a day in Venice if you are going to do it all over the next day. Seems like you will be rushing through things if you make it a day trip.
They love Eritrean men. They got streets in Rome named after Eritrean cities.
