This sound… and this… are the soundtrack that fills the busy metro on any given day in Rome. More than 150 million people use these platforms every year.
I come to Rome every other year. Three times, twice a year.
Termini station, the largest train station in Italy, is a hub for both residents and tourists alike, making police presence essential.
I feel safe. I see visual and I feel very comfortable at this point.
Security, as far as I can see, is present, but there is a need for a joint action of security, functionality and, above all, welcome.
Actually, I have never had any problems here, but I do see a lot of things that I don't like. I have to be aware all the time of what's going on around me because it's really scary.
Millions of people are expected to flock to Rome for the Jubilee year of 2025. The Municipality of Rome is considering this data:
MARIANO ANGELUCCI
Vice President, Jubilee 2025 Special Commission
We expect more than 50 million people in our city, including pilgrims and tourists. It will be a much more crowded Jubilee than the Jubilee of 2000 and almost twice as many people as the Jubilee of Mercy in 2015.
The Vatican is also concerned about security for the Jubilee, since most events will take place inside of St. Peter's Square.
Some joint measures between the Vatican and the Italian Government are already being taken.
ABP. RINO FISICHELLA
Pro-Prefect, Dicastery for Evangelization
The government commissioner inaugurated an operations room to keep track of what is happening in the city. This is an additional element. During major events, this room will be open 24 hours a day and representatives of the Holy See will also be present.
Police forces will be increased for the Holy Year, following protocol for other large religious and sporting events. Drills are also being carried out to ensure quick responses in case of emergency.
