Spanish passport holders enter Italy with no formalities at all. Both countries are EU and Schengen members. There are no border checks on flights between them. A valid Spanish national ID card or passport works for identification. No visa, no registration for short visits.
If you stay in Italy longer than 3 months, you must register at the local Anagrafe (registry office) of your comune (municipality). This is a straightforward process: bring your passport or ID, proof of address, and evidence of employment, study, or funds. You receive a certificato di residenza. Italy also requires a codice fiscale (tax code) for most transactions. Get one free at any Agenzia delle Entrate office with your passport. The process takes 10 minutes.

Winters are mild (5–13°C) with rain primarily from November through February. Snow in Rome is rare, occurring once every few years, but when it falls the city and airport are largely unprepared. Even light accumulations cause significant disruption.
Spring and autumn are the most pleasant seasons (15–23°C). Sirocco winds from the Sahara occasionally bring warm dusty air and reduced visibility in spring. FCO has little fog risk and generally good flying weather compared to northern European hubs.
