(ANSA) - Rome, February 27 - Rome will stop private diesel
vehicles from running in the historic centre from 2024, Mayor
Virginia Raggi said Tuesday.
Raggi, who mentioned the measure at the C40 climate meeting
in Mexico City Monday, said on Facebook that "Rome has decided
to work in the front line and in Mexico City, during the C40
Conference, I announced that starting in 2024, the use of
private diesel-powered vehicles will be banned."
Raggi was elected partly on an environmentally friendly
platform in a landslide in June 2016, becoming the Italian
capital's first woman mayor.
