I can't wait to hear the answers to this. On my honeymoon over two decades ago, the only kosher mikva was in the old shul in Rome-- built in 1904, and it looked like it hadn't see much business since. It felt like using the subway bathroom to shower beforehand. It was summer and the mikva lady wasn't willing to come as late as I needed to go down, so I was told by the chabad in Milan who had made the connection for me to chat her up and delay going down till the zman. Quite the experience. I hope things have changed for the better!

According to mikvah.org here is the nicest one (looks like there are 2 mikvaos in Rome) :


Address: via balbo 33
Phone1: 39-686-215393
Phone2: 39-06-721-4210
Schedule: daily. Shabbos and yom tov appointements necessary
Rav: Chief Rabbi Di Segni

They say : newly remodeled, very lovely so looks like it's not the one you used Heidi.

RosaRosa please don't give advice what you see online unless you went there yourself. The mikvah on Balboa was one hundred years plus. I would have went to the Great Synogogue if not for your advice which I would have not needed a cab ride. Yes this mikvah was dramatic Heidi.
