A station on Rome's new Metro C
line whose construction has been held up after Roman artefacts
were found there will open this autumn, Mayor Virginia Raggi
said after visiting the site Friday.
The ancient buildings and artefacts, including amphorae and
pipes from the first century AD, are being put on show at the
San Giovanni station while it is being built, in what the
archaeological superintendency has called "A Trip Back in
History".
Raggi said on Facebook "in a sneak preview we are going down
into the new Metro C station at san Giovanni, which will open in
the autumn".
Raggi has been criticised for slowing work on Rome's third
metro line amid concerns about over-spending.
