When it's 6:00 PM in Rotterdam, it's 6:00 PM in Rome.
Dutch passport holders enter Italy freely as EU citizens. No visa, no time limit on stays. Bring your Dutch passport or national ID card. Italy is in both the EU and the Schengen area, so flights from the Netherlands are intra-Schengen with no passport control on arrival. Carry your ID for airline boarding and hotel check-in (Italian hotels are required by law to record guest ID details).
For stays beyond 3 months, register at the local Anagrafe (civil registry office) within 20 days to obtain a certificato di residenza. You need proof of employment, study enrollment, or sufficient funds (no fixed threshold for EU citizens). EU citizens can live and work in Italy without a work permit. Italy's bureaucracy can be slower than what you're used to in the Netherlands, so bring patience and all documents in duplicate.

Mediterranean climate. Summers are hot and dry (28–36°C, June–August) with little rain and intense sunshine. Heat rarely disrupts flights but can make the terminal uncomfortable. 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.
