Rome, lights out tomorrow at Colosseum to commemorate Morandi Bridge victims

Tomorrow, Saturday, August 18, the lights of the Colosseum in Rome will be turned off to commemorate the victims of the Morandi Bridge collapse in Genoa on the day of national mourning. The lights will be turned off from 10 p.m. to 11 p.m. as a sign of mourning, and for the same reason all performances scheduled for tomorrow at the Colosseum have been canceled.

“These are the days of grief,” said Cultural Heritage Minister Alberto Bonisoli, “I hope that the day of justice will come soon. I am sure that the judiciary will work to identify causes and responsibilities. It is up to politics to work to prevent such tragedies from happening again.”
