Termini area to be revamped ahead of Jubilee (2)

(ANSA) - Rome, August 28 - The Rome city council member for public works, Maurizio Pucci, said Friday work to revamp the Termini station area ahead of the Jubilee will begin September 7. The rest of the work sites will open between September 25-30, and work will be finished before December 8, he said. Pope Francis has declared an extraordinary Holy Year, or Jubilee, on the theme of divine mercy to begin on December 8 and continue until November 20, 2016. Millions are expected in Rome as a result, and city hall has launched a packet of measures to fill potholes, refurbish parks, and carry out other much-needed repairs to the tune of 50 million euros.
