Pentecost in Italy for his death.
The Italian government has decided to declare five days of mourning for the death of Pope Francis. The events, at the anniversary of the anniversary of the country’s liberation from fascism and Nazism, will take place this year on April 25, in a much more limited way than the past.
The government has allocated 5m euros for the reception of pilgrims and extraordinary security measures, in view of the funeral of the deceased Pontiff, which will take place on Saturday at 10am local time.
On the same day, the Italian league football matches will not be held.
For the officials who will fall in the eternal city, finally, in addition to the police and the carabiniers, the army has been mobilized with civil protection. Special trained divers have already begun to control the Tiber area, which is near the Vatican.
