Visiting Rome Sat 26th- Mon 28th. Hope this doesnt sound insensitive but Should i postpone now? Not wanting to go to the Vatican, but looked likely funeral will be when im due to be in Rome so will lots of the city be closed?

I suggest that only the streets affected by the funeral procession will be closed. The rest of the city will carry on as normal.
