There are also two competing airport bus services from Ciampino direct to central Rome.
Anagnina Metro is the southern terminus on Line A of the Rome Metro. In front of the Metro Station is a very large bus station with buses both local and long distance.
At Ciampino the bus starts from the public bus stands immediately outside the small passenger terminal. On exiting customs turn left and go through the main doors, the bus stands are in front of you.
You can pay the driver. The ATRAL bus runs broadly every 40 minutes from about 6:30 until 22:30. The journey takes around 15 minutes between Anagnina and Ciampino.

Fares: Metro €1, ATRAL Bus €1.20
The main downside of this option is the Rome Metro, perhaps one of the more seedier Metro systems you will encounter. Main problem will be chronic crowding of the carriages and negotiating ticket barriers and stairs with heavy luggage.
The Terravision/SITA buses go non-stop to Termini Station from Ciampino Airport, the main transport hub of central Rome and one of the major hotel districts for not much more.
