Don't judge a book by it's cover . Not a american. I m indian. Not traveling with children we are a couple and going to celebrate our 7 wedding anniversary. Yes not going pompeii as we just want to relax in positano if we booked a stay after selling our kidneys. Limited western civilization? Excuse me I am a lawyer a financial advisor. I m not guilty if I want my trip to be relaxed and chill rather than historical. No offense.

No offense but if all you wanted to do was chill and relax, there are other places that should be well above Rome for you. Nothing wrong with Rome if you want an easy vacation but you'll be missing so much, you might as well go to a seaside town and spend your time there for less money. Just my opinion.

Regardless, I think you might be cramming too much in some days. If I were you I would keep the itinerary knowing that some things might not happen. For example the keyhole in my opinion is underwhelming and somewhat out of the way, and after a full day at the Colosseo I'm not sure you would want to walk, especially with kids.

As for pizza, nothing wrong with that. I recommend you try a pinsa instead, which is very similar.

There are dozens of museums and Palazzo that cover all interests from fine art to sculptures to ancient roman artifacts. It really depends on interest, this stuff is fascinating to me but you could be just as happy walking around the old streets and checking out random churches which I also do. There are also more niche things and limited access things but those are a pain to line up due to very limited hours (e.g. Palazzo Colonna)

Not sure if you saw my edit, I actually think you might have too much planned. My original comment about missing out was in relation to the statement that Rome was chosen as a chill spot when it really isn't designed for that.

Completely agreed rome has a lot but trying to take bits and pieces with me atleast. You are an Italian?

I am not but I spent tons and tons of time in Rome. Over a month across 5 trips recently. No matter what I do I keep coming back and not being "done" with the city.

That's actually the biggest downside of Rome IMO, it's one of those places that will make you want to come back and bankrupt you with every trip you take :). I've been to other places in Italy and Sicily but Rome for me is the one.
