Many Indians travel from Patna to Rome for religious reasons, to see the Vatican, or for business and tourism. Rome offers a blend of ancient history and modern Italian culture. Expect a long journey with at least one layover.
The best time to visit Rome is during the spring (April-May) or fall (September-October). The weather is pleasant, with fewer crowds than the peak summer months. Avoid August, as many businesses close for vacation.
