Rome's third metro line to open in Oct

(ANSA) - Rome, October 9 - Rome will be ready to open the first section of its metro system's third line, the C line, by the end of the month, the capital's Transport Councillor Guido Improta said Thursday. "We'll open the metro C (line) by the end of October," Improta said. "The technicians are preparing the documentation. The aim is to open the metro (line) in conditions of maximum security. I hope that, if we don't manage to have all the authorizations by Saturday, the delay will only be a few days".
    Rome currently has a relatively limited metro system for a metropolis of its size, in part due to the difficulties involved in digging tunnels in ground rich with ancient archaeological treasures.
