\nMayor of Rome<\/strong>
\n\u201cTo reopen a monument like this is also a gesture of hope: to look with confidence at a future that is still uncertain because of the developments of the pandemic. We must already work and build for the future because no matter what, we will adapt to change.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
\nSuperintendent of Rome<\/strong>
\n\u201cDuring the Middle Ages it was a fortress; in the Renaissance, an Italian garden, with plants that followed the layout of the mausoleum; during the years of the 'grand tour,' it hosted bullfights and fireworks; at the beginning of the 20th century it was a concert hall run by Toscanini.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
