The notorious snowfall which took place in Rome over twenty years ago was nothing compared to the one that started yesterday morning and continued on till late night. The Northern outskirts of the city were already experiencing difficulties in transportation and mobility since the day before but this morning the Italian Capital city woke up to a quite, still bright light, an unforgettable embroidery which has covered cars, roofs, roads. so many trees, the beautifully Roman umbrellas, have come down under such weight and those who had underestimated the precise forecast, which had repeatedly announced cold temperatures and heavy snowfalls, left their cars parked along the streets and many of these got damaged by the falling trees.
Olgiata, the famed residential complex of beautiful villas, with its 16th Century castle, appears this morning as a quiet nativity scene.
The Supermarket located it the Olgiata shopping center is open today but the pharmacy isn't.
The Mayor of Rome has declared that only those cars with either snow tires or chains on their wheels are allowed to circulate until midnight on Sunday.
