Tivoli is launching an electronic monitoring system in its historic center to protect pedestrians, beginning with a one-month trial period in November.

Meanwhile, in Rome, the Monteverde district faces a 14-hour water service interruption on November 4, 2026, due to extraordinary maintenance work by Acea Ato 2.
