in Rome
The reason that this and all other Vatican councils in the future will be held in Rome is because Rome is the head of the Catholic Church. By the way as a bonus fact, most people think that Vatican City is part of Italy because it is in the center, but it isn't. Vatican is it's own independent nation. Hope this helps! ;)

Yes, Vatican City is a city. The Vatican is a small area set aside in the city of Rome and it the seat of the Catholic church. It is where the Pope resides and does his business for the people of his church. It is mainly made up of St. Peter's Church, the gardens of the pope, the Vatican museum's, the Sistine Chapel, and the offices related to the governance of the church. It has it's own security and guards. There are other parts of the Vatican beyond the small area where it is located such as Castel Gandolfo.

The Popes, including the present Pope (in 2014), Pope Francis, have lived in the Vatican for most of the last 1,700 years, and in the city of Rome for nearly the entire 2,000 year existence of the Church. Vatican City, or the Vatican, is an independent city state within the Italian capital city of Rome. It is an independent "nation" with its own civil service [the Curia], police force and even its own "army" - the Swiss Guard. During the summer, for the past several centuries they have gone to Castle Gondolfo to escape the oppressive summer heat in Rome. The pope resides in the Papal Apartments of the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican. It is, in actuality, quite a modest dwelling. However, our new pope, Francis, has decided to forego the Papal Apartments and is living in a small apartment in Casa Santa Marta, a sort of guest hostel in the Vatican.
