How this guide is prepared

Route logic: what works and what does not
Works well
- Fix the one timed or official anchor first.
- Use Biblioteca delle Oblate as a recovery point, not another major commitment.
- End at Biblioteca delle Oblate; do not cross the whole city again.
Avoid this squeeze
- Do not treat all four stops as equal priorities.
- Do not promise yourself quiet during Museum-time peaks.
- Do not ignore Good fallback in rain; it changes the useful order.
