October in Rome: A Season Worth Staying For

October reveals a different side of Rome: softer light, warm afternoons and a city that invites you to linger. From Hotel d’Inghilterra, Starhotels Collezione, just steps from the Spanish Steps, the city’s art, cinema, culture and seasonal events are within easy reach. Settle into the elegance of the hotel, then step outside to discover Rome at an unhurried pace. Here are some of the experiences that make October an especially inviting time to stay.

Romans have a name for those luminous October days when autumn seems in no hurry to arrive: Ottobrate Romane. The expression -Rome’s lingering end-of-summer days - evokes a tradition of excursions and celebrations during the grape harvest, but it still captures the pleasure of being outdoors in the city at this time of year. The light softens, the afternoons are often pleasantly warm, and a walk can lead from a familiar piazza to somewhere entirely new.

It is a lovely season to make Rome the destination for a longer stay. With Hotel d’Inghilterra, Starhotels Collezione as your address near the Spanish Steps, there is time to enjoy the city without rushing between sights, while October’s exhibitions and events offer plenty of reasons to venture further.

What to See and Do in Rome This October:

• Discover a hidden library at Trinità dei Monti: Just above the Spanish Steps, the newly restored former library has opened to the public with Hypothèse de lecture. Bringing together artists from Italy and France, the exhibition responds to the room’s history and to the books once held there, running until November 7th;
• Watch world-class show jumping at Circus Maximus: The Longines Global Champions Tour comes to Rome from October 9th to 11th, with leading riders and horses competing at the historic military riding ground as the championship approaches its final stages;
• Spend an evening at the Rome Film Fest: From October 13th to 25th, screenings and events bring cinema to the Auditorium Parco della Musica and venues across the city for its 21st edition. Paolo Genovese’s “Il rumore delle cose nuove” opens the festival;
• Pause among the roses on the Aventine: The Roseto Comunale traditionally reopens for its autumn flowering, with historic and modern roses set against a view of the Palatine Hill. Opening dates depend on the blooms and will be announced by Rome’s city authorities in October;
