What you'll see in Rome
Rome gets a moderate partial eclipse, about 75% coverage, with the Sun setting almost exactly at maximum eclipse.
Keep eclipse glasses on for the whole event — the Moon never fully covers the Sun here, so it is never safe to look without them, even at maximum.
⚠ Eye safety
Use ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses for the entire partial phase. There is no safe moment to remove them in this city — the Sun is never fully covered.
