Hello to all.  Here  is my dilemma.  We will have a short stay in Rome, with the goal of traveling to a NE town  to see my mother-in-law's birthplace.  I have read that driving a car in Rome is crazy, and we certainly don't need that.    However,

We are coming in mid July... from the states (Ohio).  Celebrating our anniversary & catching a moment to see our roots.  My mother-in-law came from Barisciano, so I am working on a daytrip there, but also going to Rome & Venice!!!  Never dreamed I would ever get this opportunity.  thanks!

Thanks you all!!!I 'm feeling very comfortable with "Postmac's" suggestion of leaving out of Ciampino.  My husband will be driving, and he hates city driving... this will quickly get us on A90 & out!!I've been driving myself crazy trying to find an easy way out.. we are heading out to Barisciano.  I originally considered taking a bus to L'Aquila, and then renting a car, but was concerned about the condition of the town & finding our way from bus station to the car rental   Just found out the G8 Summit is being held there, so  things are quickly moving along, but wanted to be able to give myself better leeway with time.  Hertz Europe will allow you to rent for 3, 6 or 9 hours instead of all day, and this is perfect for us.I've been searching for solutions for weeks.. Thank you all again.  I will let you know how the excursion went!
