Rome All ways lead to Rome - like the Romans said. This is more or less still true today. by car: You can easily reach Rome by car. Four motorways lead to the urban ring road (A 12 from Fiumicino - west, A 1 from Firenze and Orvieto - north, A 24 from northeast which includes A 25 from Pescara, A 1 from Napoli - south). Using the motorways costs a fee of about 10.000 ITL per 100 km.
