Asia’s Ganges, Africa’s Nile and America’s Rio Grande. Navona is always an open-air theatre, painting gallery and concert hall; a place you mustn’t miss whenever you come to Rome. When the time of craziness, joy and hol- idays passes, Rome and its inhabitants take a well deserved break. Guests from elsewhere in the country return home lled with impres- sions, while Rome’s residents enter what is per- haps the only period of the year when their city isn’t awash with tourists. And that con- rms the excuse oered at the beginning of this article for visiting Rome at this specic time. Of course, you won’t automatically be at the front of the queue for Saint Peter’s Basilica, but nor will you have to stand inline endless- ly; the Colosseum will be all yours, while you’ll really be able to see and experience Rome’s city squares. Of course, the famous Trevi Foun- tain will still be besieged by tourists, because the small size of the square ensures there’s al- ways a crowd there, but you’ll be able to ap- proach it with decency and throw a coin over your shoulder. If you’re afraid about what the weather will be like, don’t concern yourself. It is quite cold in the evenings, but temperatures during the day range between 10 and 14 °C, which is pleasant provided you dress in warm cloth- ing. So, it’s implied that you should bring a scarf, hat and gloves to Rome, but everything else is okay. This is particularly so because it’s known that, although it could rain, January is not a month that’s known for being rainy, and if you’re lucky you might catch many sunny days. And to conclude, for all shopaholics, be aware that the date you need to mark in your calendar of important events is 5 th January 2019. That’s a Saturday, the rst of many to fol- low, which marks the start of Rome’s famous sales period. Large and small shops, with fa- mous and less famous brands, will decorate their window displays with the beautiful Ital- ian word‘Saldi’. Rome is famous for its leather items, such as gloves, belts, handbags and jack- ets, with oers for these kinds of items among the best in Europe, while you should seek bou- tiques with relatively inexpensive clothing in the streets Via del Corso, Via Barberinini, Via del Tritone and Via Nazionale. For those seek- ing to purchase food or wine, there’s the fa- mous Campo de’ Fiori. Discount retail sales are regulated by law in Italy, while their duration varies from re- gion to region. However, winter sales gener- ally start in the rst week of January and last for between 45 and 60 days.

te ljudski moći da priđete i bacite svoj novčić preko ramena. Ako se plašite vremena, ne bri- nite. Jeste uveče prilično hladno, ali preko dana temperatura bude od 10 do 14 stepeni, što je prijatno ako ste toplo obučeni. Dakle, po- drazumeva se da ćete u Rim pone- ti šal, kapu i rukavice, ali sve posle toga je okej. Naročito, ako se zna da, iako može da pada kiša, janu- ar nije mesec poznat po kišama, a možete imati sreće i uhvatiti mno- go sunčanih dana. I na kraju, za sve šoping mani- jake, znajte da je datum koji treba da pribeležite u kalendar važnih događaja 5. januar 2019. godine. To je subota, prva od mnogih ko- je slede, a koja otvara vreme ču- venih rimskih rasprodaja. Velike i male prodavnice, čuveni i ma- nje čuveni brendovi okitiće svo- je izloge prelepom italijanskom rečju Saldi. Rim je poznat po kož- noj galanteriji kao što su rukavi- ce, kaiševi, torbe i jakne, pa su po- nude za kupovinu ovih komada među najboljima u Evropi, a bu- tike sa relativno jeftinom garde- robom potražite u Via del Korso, Via Barberinini, Via del Tritone i Via Nacionale. Za sve one koji su u potrazi za kupovinom hrane ili vina tu je čuveni Kampo de Fjori. Rasprodaje su u Italiji propi- sane zakonom i njihovo trajanje varira od regije do regije, ali zim- ske rasprodaje uglavnom počinju prve nedelje januara i traju od 45 do 60 dana.

head to the Piazza Navona, which – alongside the Piazza di Spagna – is one of the world’s most beautiful Baroque-style squares. On Navona, during that time, you’ll encounter a Christ- mas bazaar that culminates precisely on the day of the Epiphany, so you should take your children there or disguise yourself as a child under a mask and stu yourself with sweets. Joking aside, Navona is renowned for many things: its architecture and history, but per- haps most of all for Bernini’s Fountain of the Four Rivers, which symbolised the four conti- nents that were then known: Europe’s Danube,
