Cars v Colosseum: Rome mayor bans traffic from key sights
Traffic has been banned from parts of central Rome under a new plan to help protect key monuments.
The city's mayor, Ignazio Marino - a cycling enthusiast - made the decision in order to protect historical monuments such as the Colosseum from the vibrations and fumes from vehicles.
But not all locals are pleased with the plan.
