Just about everyone has eclipse fever and we should! It’s the first eclipse viewable in America in this lifetime. While Rome itself isn’t in the path of totality (the large swathe of area where you can see the total eclipse), we will still have a spectacular view so take part in these fun viewing events for this almost once in a lifetime experience!

Hi Nic! Thank you for this article! My kids and I are very excited about the eclipse! I didn’t know several places were hosting viewing parties! We got our eclipse glasses today!
The eclipse will NOT be completely total, only some 90+%. Not a total but fascinating to watch with authorized NASA eclipse glasses.
