I'm also from the US and my family just got back from our first trip to Italy (we've also been to France & the UK on earlier trips) - here are some random thoughts about Rome/Italy. I'm not an Italian local, and definitely not an expert. But this is what worked for us.
We had an absolutely wonderful time. 99% of the people and places we visited were fabulous and met or exceeded expectations. (One nasty Tourist-Trap-gelato-cashier in Rome is the only reason Italy didn't score a perfect 100% with us).
Apps we ended up using which can be downloaded ahead of time (got these tips from an earlier reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/rome/comments/cam2we/any_recommended_iphone_apps_to_install_before/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x):
Rome was experiencing a heat-wave while we were there (95+ degrees daytime), so we used FreeNow (formerly MyTaxi) app to grab taxi rides in the daytime to get some AC and a break from walking (we did TONS of walking in the museums and outdoor locations). Rides were typically 7-10 euros everywhere we wanted to go (Vatican was more b/c it was farther). I have a family of 4, so the price difference between a taxi vs metro isn't as far apart. I think I read the FreeNow taxi meter starts as soon as you agree to a particular driver for pick-up. This was not a big issue where we were because they were usually only 1-5 minutes away.
If it wasn't so hot, walking to most sites is do-able since many famous locations are in clusters. In evenings when there was more shade, we walked most places.
I was also worried about lines, so we did book a skip-the-line Underground Colosseum/Arena/Upper tour, and also a skip-the-line Vatican/SistineChapel/StPetersBasilica tour. You pay more, but both were worth it in my opinion for a worry-free tour.
Note -- The CityWonders tour we booked for the Colosseum actually used the COOPCULTURE guides while in the colosseum. So you could save a lot of money by buying directly and getting the identical tour for the colosseum portion -- BUT, they were sold out on the dates we needed, so we needed to pick CityWonders to be sure to get the date/time we wanted for our schedule. https://www.coopculture.it/en/colosseo-e-shop.cfm
But don't overbook tours! I like to do no more than 1 per day. You're on vacation -- so you don't want to be always rushing to hit a specific time. Relax...enjoy.... Leave time to explore.
AC - Many museums are NOT air conditioned or only partially air conditioned. So bring a folding fan, wear a hat when in the sun, and stay hydrated!
Churches - There is a "rule" that you must be respectful and cover shoulders & knees (articles say its for men & women). I definitely saw women turned away for not covering their shoulders. The knee-rule was not consistently enforced, I saw a lot of guys in shorts visiting churches. Easy solution -- if your wife likes strapped or strapless tops, just bring a scarf to cover her shoulders while inside. Some churches even had scarfs for unprepared tourists. My wife and daughters packed kimono-style beach cover-ups, and they had no trouble entering every church we wanted to visit. Like this: (they are different sizes, so pick the style and size that will cover your knees) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C9F7CT3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Water - If its hot, you need water. There are LOTS of free flowing water fountains around Rome sites. Our tour guide said they are safe to drink, and you'll see many locals and tourists filling up. So plan to bring a container for water. (update - I learned they are called Nasone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasone) And if you want an extra level of protection, order one of those Lifestraw filtered drinking bottles.

About Cash -- Cash is more necessary in Rome than the US in my opinion. So find out what ATM system works with your bank in advance, and just plan to get some money that way. (ex: Bank of America uses BNL ATMs in Italy which were easy to find).
Two things to be aware of, but should not affect your trip...
About Trash - NPR ran a story about Rome having a trash problems. We didn't see any trash problems while we were there. No bad smells or crisis that I could see. IMHO, it's similar to what you find in Washington DC or NYC. (https://www.npr.org/2019/07/18/742218800/in-rome-uncollected-trash-festers-in-scorching-heat)
Terrorism - My wife noticed italy is at a Level 2 terrorist threat (https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/traveladvisories/traveladvisories/italy-travel-advisory.html). And we saw (hired?) soldiers everywhere with semi-automatic weapons. It's noticeable the first time you see them, but then it just disappears into the background. We never felt unsafe. Just use the same caution you'd apply to any major tourist city and you'll be fine.
Have a wonderful trip!
Updates - fixed some grammar (brain is jet-lagged), and added more links.
