Top 5 Ways to Die in Rome

5. Being run over by a scooter

4. The hand of Amanda Knox (go huskies!)

3. Heart attack--after eating filetti de baccala (ultra fatty fried fish)

2. Drowning in the Trevi Fountain after a misguided attempt to swim across. Or, being weighed down and dumped in a fountain, a la Angels and Demons

1. Second-hand smoke!


Everybody smokes everywhere, which is not unbearable but gets to be pretty annoying when you're sharing a table at a restaurant and the person sitting eight inches from you lights up. So far I've avoided scooters and fire, even if our gas stove is a little sketchy!
