Photo Gallery: When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Drive small cars.
I met a guy at the Motor Trend Community Forum who recently took a trip to Rome. While he was there, he took many pictures, and many of them were in an attempt to find the smallest cars in Rome that people actually drive. Look at the Gallery, you will see some classics like the Fiat 500, and some not-so-classics... like, well, I have no idea what some of them are. But, they certainly are small, and I bet they get some good mileage with them.
You will also see how the Romans park -- and you thought your downtown area was bad! This is what the Smart was designed for. You will also see scooters all over the place. After all, Piaggio, Vespa, Lambretta and others were or are based in Italy.
Thanks to RMcG for the use of his photos!

In the picture of via Painsperna (the one with new and old Pandas mixed up with Smarts) you surely missed the most interesting vehicle: Piaggio MP3 three wheeled tilting scooter, have a search about it if you dont know it.
Regards from eternal city.
