In grand Roman tradition, the first of May is national holiday—Festa del Lavoro (or Labor Day)—and the city basically shuts down to party.

Starting around 3 p.m. in front of Saint John’s Basilica (Metro A - San Giovanni) a massive outdoor concert, featuring Italian and international musicians (past year’s concert above) will take over the piazza until midnight. Notable crooners this year include Khaled and Chuck Berry.

Bring a picnic and don’t forget the wine!
