Hi
What carnival? When is it? Checked on this site but nothing seems to be happening - http://www.bugbog.com/festivals/european_festivals.html
Carnival is not such a big thing in Rome. If you want to see costumes and parades you probably need to look at Viareggio or Venice.
Here a link with some more information.

It is true that the Carnevale is not a big thing in Rome, in the sense that you will not see celebrations in the streets. For sure there will be fancy-dress parties in discos and clubs. The Municipality is organizing something, in a public place, but it seems to be especially for children, with clowns, jostlers etc. The "Festa di carnevale" will be in the park of Castel Sant'Angelo, on February 21, 22 and 24 (Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday) from 4 to 7 p.m.
It is completely free, so you can go and see if it's worthwhile.
visit the FORI IMPERIALI close to the Colosseo.
To see : on the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the extension of the Roman Empire presented through several maps. Impressive.
See other photograph in travelogue. An idea : climb the hill which is on the left of the photograph (but off the image) to have a look on the Colosseo and the FORI.
It doesn't matter if catholic or not, Vatican is a must see when visiting Rome. I was here the very first evening we came to Rome and the whole St. Peter Square was overcrowded by the both locals and tourists. The ambient looks great during night because of carefuly designed lights but not only. Visitors and tourists stood in a groups or strolling around, admiring the architecture and expessing their joy for being here. It was the most quiet crowd and very dignified.
Great place to sit outside and be a part of or just watch the action in Campo dei Fiori until the wee hours of the morning.
Drinks are very resonably priced and they have (obviously from the name) a huge selection of wines and grappas etc. available. None.
This is an enoteca, or wine bar, near Piazza Navona. If you go before 8 or so, you won't have to wait, but you will probably eat with other tourists. If you wait to eat at 9 or so, the place will be packed with Italians. It is a wine bar, with the most extensive selection of wines pretty much anywhere, but they also serve delicious food! The staff is very helpful with selecting wines, if you don't know much about them like me. The menu is seasonal, so it always changes, but there are always local favorites, and a great selection of meats and cheeses to build your own tasting plate. The onion soup is amazing, as is all of their soup; also try the pate. The place is small, but also has outside seating in nice weather. The prices are reasonable, with a glass of wine costing anywhere from 3-8 euro. The waitstaff tend to be hot young Italian guys, so there's that, too! And after dinner, it is lovely to take a stroll in nearby Piazza Navona. Their soups are my favorite--always made with fresh ingredients that are in season.
The Spanish Steps is one of the most visited sites in Rome and I must say this is one of the coolest spots in the entire world. Tons and Tons of people come here and just hang out !!!! What a great place to people see.... a must do experience on any trip to Rome !!!!! Loved it here !!!!
