My daughter and I are traveling to Italy in June and want to watch the matches somewhere fun with the locals, but need somewhere safe for 2 women alone (she is 17). We'll be in Rome for the US/Italy match and Venice for the Italy/Czec match. We both play football so we're real excited about experiencing the world cup in Europe with true fans. I don't want to sit in the hotel lobby. Any one have suggestions?

Knowing how crazy they get and how macho after a bit of football fever and a drink or two, I'd say the answer to your question is: yes, the hotel lobby, or your hotel room. Otherwise all bets are off and you're asking for it...

"Knowing how crazy they get and how macho after a bit of football fever and a drink or two"
Can we have one - just one - documented example of a single Italian ever being seen drunk or disorderly in a cafe during a football match?
The racist claptrap about "crazy" and "macho" is even more fatuous.
The simple answer to footballrose (as we'd call her in English) is "more or less any cafe that isn't full of men wearing Lazio insignia".
There may well be some exceptions to this, and with luck footballrose will get more specific answers from someone who's stumbled over a dodgy place. In forty years of visiting Rome, I've never found a cafe I'd think twice about letting a 12 year old spend an afternoon.
Any bar. If you want other English speakers, any Irish pub.
