Can someone give me an idea? If 33FRCDG =+33 France Charles deGaulle, I got 39ITCIA. Am I close?

Very BUT

Try

Hmmm here are some hints 1. It is a Code of 3 parts ;) 2. Think of what 33 Represent for France? 3. If Eiffel is in FRance where is Colosseum located 4. Think of Traveling from Rome to Paris 5. I just want to say that CDG is Paris Airport Code and Fiumicino is a great airport to visit Rome ;)
