Jeste uveče prilično hladno, ali preko dana temperatura bude od 10 do 14 stepeni, što je prijatno ako ste toplo obučeni. Dakle, podrazumeva se da ćete u Rimponeti šal, kapu i rukavice, ali sve posle toga je okej. Naročito, ako se zna da, iako može da pada kiša, januar nije mesec poznat po kišama, a možete imati sreće i uhvatiti mnogo sunčanih dana. I na kraju, za sve šopingmanijake, znajte da je datum koji treba da pribeležite u kalendar važnih događaja 5. januar 2019. godine. To je subota, prva od mnogih koje slede, a koja otvara vreme čuvenih rimskih rasprodaja. Velike i male prodavnice, čuveni i manje čuveni brendovi okitiće svoje izloge prelepom italijanskom rečju Saldi. Rim je poznat po kožnoj galanteriji kao što su rukavice, kaiševi, torbe i jakne, pa su ponude za kupovinu ovih komada među najboljima u Evropi, a butike sa relativno jeftinom garderobom potražite u Via del Korso, Via Barberinini, Via del Tritone i Via Nacionale. Za sve one koji su u potrazi za kupovinom hrane ili vina tu je čuveni Kampo de Fjori. Rasprodaje su u Italiji propisane zakonom i njihovo trajanje varira od regije do regije, ali zimske rasprodaje uglavnompočinju prve nedelje januara i traju od 45 do 60 dana. headto thePiazzaNavona,which–alongside thePiazzadiSpagna–isoneoftheworld’smost beautiful Baroque-style squares. On Navona, during that time, you’ll encounter a Christmas bazaar that culminates precisely on the day of the Epiphany, so you should take your children there or disguise yourself as a child under a mask and stu yourself with sweets. Joking aside, Navona is renowned for many things: its architecture and history, but perhaps most of all for Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers, which symbolised the four continentsthatwerethenknown: Europe’sDanube, Asia’s Ganges, Africa’s Nile and America’s Rio Grande. Navona is always anopen-air theatre, painting gallery and concert hall; a place you mustn’t miss whenever you come to Rome.
