Considering the Hotel Buenos Aires in Rome?

June 2, National Holiday by tinyvulture
We were on our way to see the Colosseo, but found that it was closed and the via dei Fori Imperiali was entirely blocked off. We found out that there was going to be a huge military parade in honor of the Festa Nazionale della Repubblica, something like our 4th of July. Soon thousands of people lined the street, everyone was clapping and waving, very excited. Helicopters and planes were flying over head. Some of them blew out green, red and white stripes, the colors of the Italian flag, which drew cheers from the crowd. We watched all the soldiers and tanks go by for at least an hour. Do not plan on sightseeing in that area on June 2, and also since everyone is off work, the whole city will be very crowded with pedestrians.
