Rome city council wants to make
the Roman Forum free of entrance charge to tourists and Romans
alike, Deputy Mayor and culture pointman Luca Bergamo said
Tuesday.
Bergamo said he would ask the culture minister in the next
government to approve the plan.
The new free-entry area would stretch from the Aventine Hill
to Caracalla's Baths, the Monti district and the Campidoglio
(Capitol), encompassing all the imperial fora, Bergamo said.
That would leave just the Colosseum and the Palatine Hill
subject to admission fees, he said.
