Hi. I'm thinking of going back to Rome to live - for some reason I keep on wanting to say "going home".
For reasons known only to God, I rented an apartment in Monte Sacro Alto when I lived in Rome last time and as I worked out of the Historic Centre with regular forays to EUR, the travel was terrible. Much as I like MSA, I'd like to spend slightly less time on buses if I return.
I know the Romans are building a 3rd metro line. Where will it go from and to? Is it the same as the extension they're working on in Sempione?
