Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi said
Tuesday that her administration was aiming to complete the
construction of a new cable railway on the west of the capital
by the end of its term. "I'd like to see the
Casalotti-Battistini funicular realized during our term," she
said as she presented the project at the city's XIII borough.
The presentation was briefly interrupted due to protests by
supporters of the CasaPound rightwing group, who called Raggi a
buffoon and called on her to quit. The mayor was escorted out of
the room and continued when order was restored.
