Rome - Due to the terrorist attacks in Paris, the Italian goverment wants to reconsider Italy's budget bill for 2016. Economy Ministry Undersecretary Pier Paolo Baretta said on Monday that they are planning to add an extra 120 million euros to the amount already in the budget (70 milion euros), in order to fund anti-terrorism measures and maximise the prevention of attacks.

  The goverment has also decided to urgently send 700 extra soldiers to Rome in order to increase the protection of strategic places in the city. In total, 1000 men were supposed to protect the Eternal City during the inauguration of the Holy Year on 8 December. However, after Friday's tragedy in the French capital, the Italian Ministry of the Interior Issues decided to immediately deploy mor than two-thirds of the additional quota on Rome's streets, mostly in the area of the Vatican.

  There are already 1500 soldiers monitoring airports, train and underground stations, offices and institutions, which could become a target of terrorist's attacks, officials say.

  Rome is under special surveillance. Officers are doing random checks with metal detectors on bag and backpacks, others are patrolling the streets around the Vatican. The Special procedures are discreet but visible and able to recognise any threat.

  One of these threats happened yesterday on Corso Vittorio Emanuele. Officers found an SUV with three Kalashnikovs inside, the same military weapons as the terrorists used in the Paris attack. After careful analysis, it turned out that the gun was only a toy dummy.

  However, most oficers are now focused on the protection of St. Peter's Square and the area around, where pilgrims will gather. Given what happened in Paris, the government wants to add to the list of priorities also Rome's Olympic Stadium, theatres, neighborhoods of restaurants and night life, mainly Trastevere and San Lorenzo.

  In the following days, they are going to define also the airspace control especially during the Jubilee. Along with a Air Forces, experts are looking for the best solution to protect Rome from possible drone attacks, seen as a big risk because they are difficult to detect.
