Rome Commissioner Francesco
Paolo Tronca signed an ordinance Monday partly lifting a ban on
commercial activity in public areas around the Vatican
introduced on the eve of the Jubilee Holy Year of Mercy in early
December.
Under the new ordinance travelling souvenir vendors and
snack vans operating near St Peter's basilica can resume
activities on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays except
when these days coincide with Jubilee events.
A total of 47 businesses were affected by the original ban,
of which 14 for the entire year.
