After seeing Paris A-Z, I started drafting a Rome A-Z but you anticipated me... for some letters we had the same ideas, for others I believe you were less creative than Paris ;-)

It would be right, if the question didn't specify that'sthe name of 23 popes, who are only known as Giovanni.

Gianni, Ivo, Ivano, Zeno, Zan and similar ones are (local) variants of the name, but commonly around the whole country you find "Giovanni".

Nice, fun to type my name as one of the answers and seeing that my nose is typical :D I think a few answers are too Ancient Rome based instead of Rome as an actualy city. I will try to think of a few suggestions.

Here's my suggestions!

F: Fiumicino Airport as an answer

I: change the clue so it refers to Caesar's killing which is more 'Rome' based?

L: Lazio (the Region Rome belongs to or one of the two local teams in Serie A?)

S: could also mentioned the modern one (eg modern one is in Palazzo Madama)

X: not sure how but maybe the MAXXI museum can be used so XXI is the answer? Maxxi being Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo)

Y: Young - ___ English Poet, largest words written on Keats' tomb in the Non-Catholic Cemetery

Z: Zoo - there is one in part of Villa Borghese

I strongly disagree.

If it's a quiz on the city, then scambigol's suggestions make much more sense than the generic classical history questions sparkled here and there.

Agreed, the very idea is laughable. A wolf though, absolutely fine. Nothing weird about that.
