O Aeroporto Internacional Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino (FCO) é o principal aeroporto de Roma e o maior da Itália, localizado na cidade costeira de Fiumicino, a aproximadamente 32 quilômetros a sudoeste do centro de Roma. Com mais de 49 milhões de passageiros anuais, Fiumicino é o sexto aeroporto mais movimentado da Europa e o hub principal da ITA Airways, a sucessora da histórica Alitalia. O aeroporto possui quatro terminais, com o Terminal 3 a servir a maioria dos voos internacionais. O Leonardo Express, um comboio direto sem paragens, conecta o aeroporto à estação Roma Termini em apenas 32 minutos, proporcionando uma das ligações aeroporto-centro mais convenientes da Europa. Roma, como capital da Itália e um dos destinos turísticos mais visitados do mundo, gera um volume enorme de tráfego — o Coliseu, o Vaticano, a Fontana di Trevi e o Fórum Romano atraem milhões de visitantes anualmente. O aeroporto é também um ponto de partida conveniente para explorar outras regiões italianas, incluindo a Toscana, a Costa Amalfitana e a Sardenha. As instalações incluem lojas duty-free com produtos italianos premium — moda, vinhos, queijos e azeites — além de restaurantes que servem autêntica cozinha italiana.
