Rome's Olympic bid not halted yet-Padoan

(ANSA) - Rome, July 27 - Economy Minister Pier Carlo Padoan said Wednesday that "at things are at the moment, there has been no cancellation" of Rome's bid to host the 2024 Olympics. Rome's new Mayor Virginia Raggi said before being elected last month that she was against the capital hosting the Games and has since confirmed they are not a priority, while saying a final decision will be made later in the year. "The bid project started over a year ago," Padoan told a question time session in the Lower House.
