INCLUDES SOUNDBITES BY DANIELA, COLOMBIAN PASSENGER AND IVAN BASSATO, OPERATIONS MANAGER OF LEONARDO DA VINCI AIRPORT (FIUMICINO).Translations: Daniela: "Less than a week ago it was confirmed that we can travel and before Saturday already." Ivan Bassato:"As of today, the Italian government has decided to remove some truly important limitations on the freedom of movement of people. Specific motivations such as professional, health and emergency reasons for moving within the country and the European Union are no longer required. We do not have many more flights than in previous days, but we see that there are more passengers because passengers can obviously move around more freely. We hope that during June there will be a progressive increase in these numbers, but we are still far from returning to how things were before the pandemic.""The current conditions would surely not allow us to manage the traffic levels we were managing last year in June. Fiumicino airport in June last year managed almost 1000 flights a day during the summer peak, almost 150,000 passengers. Today we will probably have about 10,000. We believe that with the current rules it is possible to grow by about 50 per cent of those numbers."
Rome, Jun 1 (EFE), (Camera: Álvaro Caballero).- The Colosseum in Rome along with other iconic landmarks in the city reopened to visitors on Monday.FOOTAGE OF ROME'S COLOSSEUM.SOUNDBITES OF:-ALFONSINA RUSSO, DIRECTOR OF THE COLOSSEUM'S ARCHAEOLOGICAL PARK:"It's been 84 days, since the Colosseum closed its doors to the public, on 8 March, as well as all Italian cultural spaces. At that very particular, tragic moment, for Italy, the monument fell into a surreal silence.""It is also an opportunity for a positive change in tourism, a more sustainable kind. A type of tourism that can be compatible with our cities and our citizens' well-being.""We used to have around 20,000 visitors per day. We closed last year with 7 and a half million visitors.""The discovery we have made during confinement: a series of graffiti that tells the story of the monument after its abandonment, from the Middle Ages to around 1600."-FRANCESCO AND NATALE, VISITORS:"I have entered the Colosseum after 30 years. For us it is beautiful, but we miss the tourists.""It is a privilege, but something is missing. Empty Rome hurts us. The tourists are missing and we hope to return to the old days."
