February
Rome's winter quiet is shattered by high-spirited
carnevale
celebrations, while ro-
mance comes to town for St Valentine's Day (14 February). Restaurants do a roaring
trade in tables for two, so book ahead.
Carnevale Romano
Rome really goes to town for
carnevale,
with leaping horse shows on Piazza del Popolo,
costumed parades down Via del Corso, street performers on Piazza Navona, and crowds of
kids in fancy dress. Check the schedule at
