We went to Rome 7 years ago and made our way to Cinnicitta only to find it was a shopping mall. I never did see the studios. I thought that they must have closed down but I have read of a few films still being made there.
Still, there are enough wonderful buildings and churches etc. to see. We were also in Rome 4 years ago. Look out for the little old lady bent over with a stick, rattling a cup, begging on the road leading up to the Vatican. If you wait around you will see her as she really is, a not so old lady with nothing wrong with her. You can treat her as a beggar or a piece of street theatre.
