The Colosseum and the Circus
Maximus will be under close watch on New Year's Eve as crowds
assemble for events starting at 22:30 in the area, according to
a security plan drawn up by police chief Nicolò d'Angelo. There
will be five stop points granting access to area under
surveillance, the plan says. The plan, covering 24 hours,
enisages surveillance of all of the Italian capital's major
squares, with particular attention in Piazza Venezia, Piazza di
Spagna, Piazza Navona, Campo de' Fiori, Piazza del Popolo,
Fontana di Trevi, the Janiculum and EUR. At St Peter's a Jubilee
security plan will still be in force. Italy is on high security
alert following the December 19 terror attack on a Berlin
Christmas market which killed 12 people including one Italian.
