Rome for Romans?
I am making mid-range plans to move to Rome.
I am wondering if there is a an annual "museum pass" for city dwellers in Rome. For instance, I have a "membership" with the Kimbell Museum in Fort Worth. I pay xx dollars per year and I have free entrance (+1 guest) for every exchibit and discounts at the museum restaurant/bookstore/audio guides. This membership is also good at a number of other "sister" museums.
If I am living in Rome, I will probably want to go to local musuems often, including the Vatican Museums.
Can anyone give me some insight (websites) that might be useful for a local?
Grazie!

sarge - my first stop might be roninrome.com i think.
you might also try this website -

I've looked for an annual ticket but didn't find one - you might have more luck.
good luck!

davispeets- I did. But unfortunately had to cancel it last week. I found out that I will be losing my job in first quarter next year. (Hence my plan to take this is a sign, and move to Rome, like I've been wanting to do for a long time.) So, I figured it wasn't prudent to go in October for 3 weeks, and then turn around and move there in March.
thanks all. If anyone has any other input, please feel free to add on!

There is a Florence Amici card similar to the one I linked for Rome if you think you will be going there often.
Also, this card might be of value as it gets you discounts for a variety of things (not just in Rome).

Not the Florence Tourist Card, but the museum card.

FYI - The Florence museum card is valid on a calendar year, not from when you join. I don't know about the Rome museum card.
