Nice! I suggest substituting 'Via' and 'Ponte' with more Roman based questions - eg name of second airport Fiumicino, name of river that flows into Tiber is Aniene, famous acronym SPQR, area built to host Expo 1942 (which never took place) EUR, square that used to get flooded to host ships Piazza Navona, name all 4 basilicas etc etc

Well Rome is still a modern-day city, not just an ancient one. Quiz seems quite balanced.

I wasn't referring to modern-ancient, just saying that some of the questions are Italy-related, not Rome-related

Well, judging by your comment, the word "only" is a bit inaccurate here.

you should accept palantine and capotiline without 'hill' - the word hill is included in the clue so obsolete. I tried all of them without success because I omitted 'hill'

Perhaps you should have spelled them as "Palatine" and "Capitoline".

Strada is a perfectly good Italian word for 'street.' And "Campo" means 'field,' not 'fields.'

I'm quite sure many Italians take this quiz and like me they immediately try with Italian word: i.e. Tevere, Sistina, Palatino and Campidoglio.

I studied Italian Literature in Rome as a student. That was about ten years ago and I still write and say Tevere, Palatino, Sistino, Fiumicino, and I lived on Monte Gianicolo, etc. Point being, I agree they should accept the Italian names for Italian places. I'm an American and I literally had to look up the English word for Campidoglio. Not cool.

Why is Flavian Amphitheatre never accepted in any of these quizzes?

because the entire planet knows it as the Colosseum. You don't need to prove you know its real name, nobody's watching you do it.

Go to Rome and ask some one to take you to the Flavian Amphitheater, and literally everyone will say "oh, you mean the Colosseum. Just call it that."

quite sure these places are better known with Italian name. "San Pietro" or "Tevere" should be accepted

Given all the autocorrects jetpunk accepts I did not expect to stumble over Castel Sant' Angelo.
