In Rome, too, July is a month of announcements, with Sapienza, Roma Tre, and LUISS all making them. And just like every year, the question that comes up most often is the same: where to celebrate a college graduation Without spending a fortune, but also without settling for the first café around the corner?
The Most Popular Options
Among the most popular options is an aperitif on the terrace, which is particularly well-suited for large groups, those looking to stay within a budget, and those seeking a quintessentially Roman atmosphere. For a more organized party—with catering, music, and greater flexibility in using the space—you can choose a venue or a garden available for exclusive rental. Villas and mansions with gardens, on the other hand, are ideal for more formal occasions, especially when you want picturesque backdrops for photographs and a medium-to-large capacity.
Convenient Areas Based on the University
Graduates of La Sapienza often stay in the San Lorenzo or Nomentana areas, which are convenient and already bustling with bars and clubs; those from Roma Tre tend to gravitate toward Testaccio and Ostiense, with their converted former markets and terraces overlooking the Tiber; and LUISS students prefer to hang out in Parioli and downtown.
Roughly how much does it cost?
An extended aperitif on a terrace can start at just a few hundred euros for the venue rental, while a villa with a garden for a more formal party—including catering—requires a higher budget. On the other hand, it offers much more control over the schedule and setup, which is useful if the party goes on into the evening.
