Not to be facetious, but... why not get wet? : ) Well, carry an umbrella of course. But unless your plans were for a picnic or a ball game, why not just continue strolling thru towns, going into churches and museums, shopping and eating/drinking? Or, you can always go to the movies.

First of all, before you go, check the long-range forecast on the Weather Channel website (www.weather.com). It'll give you a 10-day outlook. <BR>We hit rain rain almost the entire part of Rome stay. It didn't stop us from walking around.<BR>What to do in the rain? The obvious answer is: Museums!

Howard:<BR><BR>Weather forrecasts in Italy are decently precise only in a 2-3 days range. Beyond that you never rely know what will happen. Unlike in the Us, southern Europe and Northern Africa has a weather that changes very fast and unpredictably, we have less dramatic events, but a weather forecast saying "rain for 10 days" can very easily becontraddicted by the weather, as well as a forecast of 5 days of rain.

we had one day in Rome and the rain came down in torrents the whole time. We still managed a packed day of sightseeing although the Forum did seem to have a river running through it! The only real inconvenience was trying to stop my husband murder the hundredth gypsy who tried to sell us an umbrella!!!
