When to visit Rome
Apart from the absolute beauty of an artistic and monumental city as Rome, we can say it the tradition and folklore, such a popular mood, which makes an extraordinary charm to an urban landscape certainly unique.
1- To visit Rome during the Christmas Period
The Christmas holidays have their logical epicenter in the Basilica of St. Peter, for the solemn duties of the liturgy and the church of S. Maria in Aracoeli, where the famous statue of the Infant Jesus decorated with precious stones and gold is the object of veneration.
Wonderful scenes of the nativity are in all the churches and even in special exhibitions held in the city. In recent years a nativity of monumental proportions is not only in the square S. Peter, but also on the steps of Trinita dei Monti and Piazza Navona. In Piazza Navona there are temporary shops (shelters) for street vendors who sell all items necessary to make the crib, the Christmas tree, toys and sweets.
On december the 23th it takes place an historic wholesale fish market (called "Cottio") within the old fish market at the portico of Ottavia. While at the stroke of the new year all the city of Rome islit by the "fireworks".
The prices for an accommodation during this period including apartments in Rome usually increase up to 50% respect to the standard. For this reason to save money and breathe anyway the atmosphere of the city a good alternative period to visit Rome could be 15-23 December (Prices for an apartment in Rome are even 30% below the standard).

On January 6, Epiphany (Befana, in Roman slang) comes in the emblematic scenery of Piazza Navona still full of shops ("barracks") to the delight both young and old people.

7 - Easter is celebrated mainly in four major basilicas, according to ancient rituals, the Pope also gives the blessing "Urbi et Orbi" from S. Peter. IDuring this period on the table of a roman family is a must still to find a few typical dishes of Rome: sausage, pizza and eggs for breakfast in the morning, or cappelletti agnolotti in broth and lamb (along with everything else) for lunch.
Even during this period hotels or in general accommodations in Rome are very expensive. Again Holiday Apartments in Rome represent a good compromise in terms of location and budget. Notwithstanding this, prices are usually 30-40% higher as during Christmas period than the standard.

In addition to religious ceremonies, there are other events related to the Saint animating through popular demonstrations the area of the Lateran Basilica since ancient times.

On this occasion, the stalls invade the square in front of the basilica solding "bells" of clay, "garlic flowered" (against evil eye and witches) and it is possible to eat many snails in sauce (known as the "Roman snails").

It is said that the night between 4 and 5 August 352, the Virgin appeared in a dream to a patrician named John, pointing to the place where to rise a chapel dedicated to her. Even the Pope Liberio had the same dream and the next morning he found a miraculous snowfall that had surrounded the ground. The church was built and (actually improperly) had the attribute of "Liberian". Every year on this day, a fall of rain mixed with snow white flowers remember what happened.
