General Information

TuttoCittà

http://www.tuttocitta.it/tc/home.jsp
An Italian equivalent of MapQuest: the “Mappa” section will locate any address for you by filling in the city name (Italian spelling, of course, so it’s “Roma,” “Firenze” and “Milano”), the street name (“indirizzo”) and building number. Once the map comes up, you can zoom in and out. The “Percorso” function will estimate your travel time from one address to another, either by car or on foot (“pedonale”).

The Universal Currency Converter

http://www.xe.com/ucc
An interactive currency exchange site using up-to-the-minute exchange rates for a number of global currencies.

Rome Buddy

http://www.romebuddy.com/
The Rome Buddy site offers advice (some rather jaded and sarcastic) about an enormous number of topics relevant to life in Rome for English speakers. It too includes lists of English language cinemas in Rome, as well as libraries in Rome with English holdings.

RomeGuide

http://www.romeguide.it/
Your "full pocket web guide to Rome" maintains guides and listings for restaurants, bars, concerts, shopping and much more...

Wanted in Rome

http://wantedinrome.com/
Sort of an online English-language newspaper with ads and announcements. Gives information about exhibits, lectures, etc. both in Rome and elsewhere in Italy (i.e., Venice Biennale). WATCH OUT: the numeric dates given are usually in European order, so 11/10/05 means OCTOBER 11, NOT November 10.

Museionline

http://www.museionline.com/eng/default.htm

Other US College Programs in Rome Websites

This is sort of “cheating,” but these three sites run by other architecture programs consolidate a great deal of useful information on everything from favorite art supply stores, photography services and computer repair to cheap restaurants and English-language cinemas:

Iowa State University

Besides the good preparatory information, check the "Services in Rome" link for their own lists of accumulated sources for products and services.

University of Washington

The University of Washington program site has another extensive list of Rome links
