It very rarely snows in Rome.

The People

The city of Rome is home to over 2.5 million people. According to the latest statistics, some 10 per cent of them are non-Italians. Out of those 10 per cent, about half of them are of different European origins, including Romanian, Polish, Ukrainian and Albanian. The other half are non-Europeans, such as Filipinos, Bangladeshis, and Chinese.

Rome is the center of Roman Catholicism. It is, therefore, needless to say that that is the predominant religion of the city. However, not everyone in Rome is a Catholic. Over the recent years, the number of Muslims in the city has been growing.

The official language in Italy is Italian, while other languages are mainly limited to their corresponding communities. However, English is one of the languages taught in schools, so you will have no problems communicating with the locals once you move to Rome.
