Public holidays at Hong Kong move this destination's year too little to make it a different answer, so the Rome page is the one of record. This one is kept for the distance and the flight it implies.

No fare history on HKG–FCO yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only. The price column fills in as the scanner collects.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in HK as well as at Rome, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.

The year in Rome

Rome experiences a Mediterranean climate, with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. The information is based on climate normals computed from ERA5 reanalysis.

Busiest	early Jun to late Aug — This is the summer peak when tourist activity is at its highest and many attractions are open.
Quieter, still good	early Apr to late May — Spring offers pleasant weather and fewer tourists compared to summer. early Sep to late Oct — Early autumn is still warm and has fewer crowds.
Watch out for	haze

This section was written by a language model from the climate figures above, and nobody has checked it. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe. The busiest and quieter periods here also count toward the crowd score, which is 20% of the ranking.
