retired, but not always free...
The technical rules are that you must be an EU citizen, or a citizen of a country that has a reciprocal agreement with the EU, to take advantage of the free or reduced rates for retirees. The US does not have such an agreement. The museum attendants are uneven in applying this rule. Last year I (a US citizen) got in free to the Campidoglio museums (well worth visiting - as is Michelangelo's plaza where they are located) but not to Castel Sant'Angelo.

The Pantheon and the Castel Ste Angelo are worth a visit.
If you are retired you can get free entrance to many of the sites.
