Rome's famed 'botticelle' horse-drawn
tourist carriages are to move from the streets of the Italian
capital to its parks under a measure soon to be discussed at
city hall, sources said Tuesday.
"Among the key aims of the measure is to avoid all suffering
to the horses, taking the botticelle activities to more suitable
locations like parks and historic villas," said the head of the
Rome environmental committee, Daniele Diaco of the ruling
anti-establishment 5-Star Movement (M5S).
It will also be possible for drivers to apply for taxi
licenses, he said.
