There are several magazines out there which offer information for tourists/locals, about the fun events, exhibits, and other opportunities in La Bella Citta. One you can only pick up in print form, while in Rome: Roma Che - way better than any Dallas informational magazine out there!
But my favorite website, when it comes to keeping up on the goings-on, is Wanted in Rome: www.wantedinrome.com . I learned about this magazine the first summer I lived in Rome, to study with Father Reginald Foster - several of my classmates arrived to Rome without any accommodations booked for our 8-week stay (incredible!), and used the magazine to find apartments for rent. Since then, I've found great appreciation for the "What's On" and "News" sections, as I plan for my group's best experience every year in Rome. It's how I knew where to find the "Ocean's 12" cast's trailers (we met them as they returned for their lunch break), and where to find some great spots for pictures of the Versace displays, when he celebrated his birthday a few years ago.
Did you see? They're working on restoring the Colosseum! Just for our visit next year! So kind of them to think of us!
Feel free to check out this fun website - maybe you, too, will find some fun apartment for rent, or might look into one of those job availabilities (can't tell you how many times I've read into the "English Teacher Wanted" ads)!
peace,
Laura :)
