At the airport in Rome rn.
Bathrooms are pretty sweet. No handles or faucets at any sinks just motion sensors to shoot out soap, water and blow dry at the same sink. 
That's all for now!

A good strategy is to say no thanks and keep walking. Keep walking is the key point, as soon as you stop they've got you. It works on anyone from charity workers to beggars to gypsies

No, do not say no thanks, they're looking
for tourists and if you reply in english, regardless of what you say, instead of just not replying, there's a much greater chance of them hounding you
I've actually
had some pretty 
friendly encounters when I'm waiting 
for something or someone and I reply in Italian, often they're surprised 
and start acting friendly and not beg because they know that you know, but even then there's a chance (albeit significantly smaller) that they'll still ask for money

If you ignore them though that pisses people off and the last thing I want to spend my time on is a fight with some random homeless schizo. I say sorry once and then just keep going.

No you don't understand they aren't random
beggars and they're definitely not schizos, they won't get offended if you ignore 
them, they specifically walk up to and ask questions that have nothing to do with begging, they ask in english 
because they actively seek out tourists, especially americans
I'm fairly
confident 
that this specific way of doing it is exclusive to Italy 
Gypsies on the other hand 95%+ of the time are either sitting
on a sidewalk begging, often with some bullshit 
sob story, or they're pickpockets
Pickpockets come in all races though

When you arrive at the train
station, please 
ignore 
all the disgusting 
smells and the unwashed immigrants, they just all congregate around the train 
station, it gets better 
as you move away from it.
Also I'd totally come down to Rome and stalk
you so I could report back to rdrama 
and make sure you're having a good time but sadly it's exam season 
and I can't

Make sure you visit all the imperial fora, it's well worth the time and money, doubly so if you are sort of familiar with the history.

When I was in rome, the cops were doing some sort of scam where they were stopping tourist and asked for your passport. Then if you said you had it on you, they took it until you bribed them

Protip: when you visit the Colusseum be sure to engrave your name on the walls, it's perfectly legal and Italians love it as you're adding to the history of the place.
Also remember to jump into the fountains of Trevi, your visit doesn't count if you don't take a swim in it!
