We can opt for something with less time constraint as you are leaving early in the morning for the airport. We will decide then.
The time we leave will depend on flight schedule. Some flights leave Rome in the morning so it could be as early as 4am. It takes a good three hours to get to Rome airport.
If you are on the Delta flight that leaves at 1:20pm, leaving at 6am will give you ample time for your flight. It will get you there about three hours before departure.
