(ANSA) - Rome, March 22 - A 'green zone" in which protests are
banned has been set up around parliament before it convenes
Friday.
The zone came into effect Thursday evening at 19:00 and will
be in force until Saturday at 13:00.
It will cover a large part of Rome's historic centre.
Its aim is to avert disruption to the sitting of parliament
and its first session to elect Speakers in both houses.
Anti-terrorism police and army units will patrol the area
around Montecitorio on Saturday and all CCTV cameras will be
hooked up to a single system to keep the zone under close watch.
