What is Rome Like?

Rome is a very old city and in some places it really shows. I was really
impressed with how proud they are of their heritage and the extents to
which they have gone to preserve it. I was really surprised and
disappointed with the cleanliness of the city, somehow, I thought it was
much cleaner than it was. the metro, especially linea B is horrendously
filthy and the train is full of graffiti, which I found so much at odds
with the majestic history of the place. The Romans enjoy their cafe, and
cappuccino and the number of outdoor cafes is amazing, even at 8:00am in
the morning, there are people seated at a cafe having a cappuccino and a
smoke
