Default Meeting Place at leonardo da Vinci Airport

Friends of ours are arriving at around the same time as my wife and I
at LDV/Fiumicino airport this fall. We want to meet up with them and
take a taxi to downtown Rome together. Can someone suggest a good
meeting place at the airport that will be easy for everyone to find?

I assumed at the airport station if Ken's intention was for them to travel
together by train to Rome.

I knew what you meant, but IME, the airport station can
be crowded and hectic... not really condusive to meeting.
Just in front of the entrance would be better.

No, I'm sure he meant the Fiumicino station.

Yes, which is why I didn't want to take the train.

I think we're going to take the earlier advice of booking a van to
pick us up (more convenient and hardly any more money than a taxi), so
we'll meet next to the man with our names on a sign next to the exit.
Thanks.
