EASY Map of Rome Advice
Yes, its me again. Trying to find a very simple, easy to read map of Rome, even a printable version online would be fine. Just something to whip out that is small enough to fold away and make planning our way around easier.
Thank again!

The last time I went I printed out some maps from www.romanhomes.com and that worked for me. You will be able to find maps in free handouts once you get to Rome.

The pop up series has a very good little map of Rome, most bookstores carry them. They are about the size of a deck of cards, and are very handy. I have used the Rome and New York versions,and they're great.

Ditto Streetwise Rome. I found it at my local Barnes and Noble. It is folding and laminated, and has subway stops, and an index by street and Piazza. It also has colorful landmark symbols (Colluseum/St Peters/Termini).
Because of the non-parallel, one way and streets winding around piazzas, I doubt that any map of Rome will be "easy".
I am an explorer, and it is easy for me to get turned around. This map was invaluable.

Agree that Streetwise is good, and the EasyMap maps are good. Get a laminated map, then before you go, use a colored marker to draw a walking tour on the map.
If you are not certain about your route, and may make changes to it, use DRY ERASE markers only. If you route out more than one walking tour, use different colors.
I have marked three different walking tours on one map that way, as an example.

Just a comment. I bought Streetwise maps when we went to Amsterdam, Berlin, and Prague last year. They are good maps, but there's one thing that I found a little annoying. The Berlin and Prague (not Amsterdam) maps were printed on both sides, so it was often necessary to flip the map over to find your location or destination. And what I wanted seemed always to be on the other side. I decided to buy the National Geographic maps for our spring trip to Italy. They're a little larger, also laminated, and all the info is on one side of the map. Go to your local bookstore and browse. Borders has a good selection

You cannot expect everyone to know that you are in deepest Sicily, far from the nearest American chain bookstore.
A search on Google image would have given you, among thousands of others, the following map of Rome:

It should be quite sufficient for planning purposes; you can always buy a map if and when you get to Rome.
