Do you suppose Romans are the only Italians in Rome? Where do you suppose
visitors from Milan or Taormina would stay when in Rome, Watson? They have
to stay *somewhere*.

My point was that many people looking to "experience Italy" would opt for a
more "Italian" place. No need for you to take offense; when I lived in
Rimini, the hotel where I lived was frequented by Italians during the
off-season. (Rimini's a major vacation destination during the summer, and
the hotel rates get jacked up accordingly.)
