Hi guys,
Would like to know how is celebrated the Happy New Years in Rome or Sicily.
1- Any traditions, public attractions?
2- Will be the commerce closed for longer than the 1st/jan?
3- Witch is the hip neighborhood (we are a 30's couple) area to stay as a base?
4-How is the weather this time of the year? I know is winter, but how cold it can get?
Any information would be fantastic, at this point, we are flighting to Rome, staying there for a week and after we are considering go south to Sicily or flight/get a ferry to Sardegna. We are traveling for about 15 days. Thank you!
Fireworks and huge celebration for your age group at Piazza Popolo on New Year's Eve - usually concerts also. Lots of cafes/restaurants open - reservations and long ques for restaurants generally. Everyone is out in the streets in Rome - could be cold but not freezing - rain is always possible. Good winter jackets, sweaters should serve you well. Walk the streets of the center - everyone is out in the Piazzas - Spagna, Navona, Campo di Fiori, Trevi (just to see Trevi at night). Enjoy bella Roma...........

and for Sicily here:

(though conditions may vary according to where you are based....Sicily is a big island).
I have asked Sicily resident, dorset, to take a look here and help you w/Sicily info. Hopefully, we will hear from Francesco.
Due to extreme climatic changes the World is experiencing at the moment, trying to predict the weather can be difficult because of local, on the day variations.
Most places now are seeing weather conditions well outside the norm.
The information below should be used as a guide only.

Enjoy your holiday.

(Photo: Tivoli Fountain? I am not 100% sure, but it's the same photo found on 1 outta 3 VT Rome Pages!)
Avoid the heat if you are going in the summer, smile. And by all means, use the subway. VERY easy and convenient. Buses too! Very user friendly for non-Italian Speakers.. Walking around the streets and trying to get lost. Couldn't get but so lost, but I have vivid memories of the odors of restaurants.
Make sure to bring clothes that cover your shoulders and legs. You cannot enter most of the churches with a tank top, camis or shorts. The inside of the catherals are so beautiful that you won't want to miss them. Wear longer pants or skirts and tuck a wrap or sweater into your handbag. We went and summer and it is too hot to walk around all day with a wrap. This way I just got my little jacket out to go in to the churches. If you don't, there are vendors outside selling overpriced wraps to tourists.
New modern, clean and well staffed shop. Right opposite the Trevi Fountain with lots of Clothes and is always busy. It is just like a normal female United Colours of Beneton but it feels exotic because it is in a different country. There are lots of clothes to buy in the usual vast variety of snazzy colours Beneton use. And at reasonable prices
By plane via Aerporto Leonardo Da Vinci (Fiumicino)
Take the train to Statione Termini(leaving in the airport building) it takes you to the city center in about 35 minutes and it is the cheapest way.
On foot.
By bus (you can buy your tickets at newspapershops on every corner) Tickets are cheap. You will notice that more than 50 % of the people doesn't pay. It is a national sport in Rome to travel free. Try the thrill.
Nice little restaurant (only 10 tables) in a less touristy area. Therefore, a place for the locals. Our lunch here was:
husband:
fiori de zucca
rigatoni carbonana
me:
ham & mozzarella
ravioli al ricotta e spinaci
