WHEN IN ROME [ldots] - Brief Article

Ecologist, The, April, 2000

> In Italy, Sundays are no longer just a day of rest, they are also car-free, under a new scheme set up by city authorities. In an attempt to cut back on air-pollution levels in busy cities, drivers in Rome's city centre and 150 other Italian cities will be banned from driving on Sundays. In Rome, the ban will last for ten hours, during which time, as encouragement, public transport and entrance into the cities' museums and archaeological sites will be free.
