Every winter, millions of starlings migrate from northern Europe to Italy in search of warmer weather.
The ballet-like performances of the starling flocks are magical.
One spectator is Eva Osuna, visiting from Spain.
Although the aerial displays are stunning to observe, there's a negative side to their presence.
The starlings sleep in massive numbers in the city's tree-lined avenues, and the sheer quantity of droppings covering the pavements is distasteful, as well as the odour.
Such is the problem that, even on a clear day, it's not uncommon to see Romans walking along the streets with umbrellas as protection against the birds.
To fight the problems, city authorities have resorted to sounds and lights to force the birds to separate into smaller groups.
Valentina De Tommaso works for Fauna Urbis, the organisation charged with dispersing the birds.
Using the birds' own alarm call works without causing them any distress, simply telling them that this is a dangerous place to hang around.
As starling populations are believed to have hit one million in Rome alone this year, this mission will be a struggle.
The question of the birds' annual stay is one for debate, as Francesco Fusco, local resident, indicates.
