Only one evening in Civitavecchia but I lived in Rome for six months, so 
I've been to Vigna di Valle, crawled around the Etruscan tombs, 
Hadrian's Villa, Pompeii and Paestum and been in the excavations under 
the Vatican, etc.

Quick go OT!  I just acquired a 1:16 scale 1914 Stutz model at a garage 
sale.  I can't find any military use for it, so I think I'll try for a 
'barn find' look.  Who's good at simulating faded paint and rust?
