I'm off for a wonderful two week vacation In Rome, Italy starting the last week of September. The wife and I have a lot planned. We've done a lot of research, but we still have a few questions. If anyone is familiar with the area I would be most gracious if you could help answer some of these questions.
1.) The wife and I like to walk, and we're going to walk the via Appia Antica on a Sunday. They say cars do not drive on the Via Appia Antica on Sundays, but I've heard otherwise. Looking at google Earth there is a good chunk of it that the street has a wall on both sides. That looks extremely dangerous to walk especially if cars are going to be driving on it. Is there another way to get to the scenic part of it; aka a better route?
2.) A shop were I can buy Roman clothing i.e Tunics, Belts, Caligae, etc.
3.) I believe there is a museum in Rome that has replica plates of Trajan's column. Anyone familiar with that particular museum?
4.) Restaurants advice would be sweet as well.
Thanks!
