Next we turned in our rental car (undamaged) and took a train into Rome. (And thank God we didn't have to drive around in Rome; I read on the web (so it must be true) that your are ten times more likely to have an accident in Rome than New York City (and I believe it!)). We had a room within walking distance of the Vatican, and the Rome subway provided the rest of our transporting. Hit all the main sights, the Colesseum, the Forum, St. John's, etc.
