The City of Rome’s Capital Committee on Referendums gave the green light for a public vote on whether the Italian Capital should move forward with its 2024 Olympic Games bid.
The Roma 2024 Referendum Group led by Riccardo Magi of the Italian Radical Party made the announcement on Facebook explaining that the group must now collect signatures from one per cent of the citizens of Rome – almost 30,000 – before the referendum can be confirmed. They expect to be able to do that in the next month.
