Apart from a few hick-ups and some nasty encounters, the sights of Rome were truly something to behold. A tourist melting pot, where people flock to year-round, it's tough to escape the madness. Take note when going to Rome do try stay around the neighbourhood of, Trastevere, west of the river, where one can escape the mania and incessant flashing of cameras. Trastevere has a mass of awesome restaurants and bars to choose from as well as unique boutiques scattered throughout the area. Just over the bridge and off the main drag, you'll discover a fantastic and what I believe to be, authentic part of Rome. In summer, one should eat and drink all day and go sightseeing as the sun sets through into the night. By then the crowds have substantially subsided and the city proves to be even more spectacular, the details just seem to shine in the dusky light or evening sky as you wander through the cobbled streets. When in Rome... be sure to eat plenty of sorbetto, gelato and gnocchi (just to name a few) and quaff loads of vino and caffe`.
