When I frist landed on the runway in Italy in A.D. 1998, my 4 friends and I walked down from the plane to the apron in front of the hangar where I kissed the tarmac! We were finally home - in Roma Beata! Later, having flown in and out of Ciampino, I have learned to love da Vinci (alternatively called Fiumicino in honor of the town whose location is adjacent!). For the Holy Year A.D. 2000 they did some nice work on the airport and they even have an (ugly) chapel there now. Fiumicino is the best and its only some 20 miles from downtown Rome with a landing view of the Tyrrhenian!
