Supermoon over Rome on 19 February

19 Feb, 2019

Best vantage points in Rome to view the supermoon.

A supermoon - the biggest and brightest moon of 2019 - will be visible over Rome on the night of 19 February.

The moon will be 30 per cent brighter than normal and - even though it will be 356,000 kilometres away - it will appear unusually large in the night sky.

Some of the best vantage points in Rome to watch the spectacle include the Janiculum hill, Pincio in Villa Borghese and the heights of Monte Mario, or nearby beaches such as Fregene, Maccarese and Ostia.
