Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi is
launching a 'Marshall Plan' to fill in the eternal city's many
potholes after days in which motorists and pedestrians were
forced to dodge snow and rain filled holes.
Public Works Councillor Margherita Gatta will hold a summit
Thursday with municipal chiefs after a mapping app called Urban
Decency found there were 10,000 potholes across the city with
110 new ones appearing in the last three months.
Raggi has vowed to plough fresh funds into remedies for the
perennial citizens' headache.
Wags have been active on social media, posting pics including
a new sinkhole opening up behind Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone
dancing, captioned La La Hole, and a large fish jumping out of a
waterfilled hole.
