Footage from Greenpeace Italy, filmed with an infrared thermal camera in front of the Colosseum, the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square and Termini station, shows temperatures of more than 50 degrees Celsius.
These areas are among the most touristy in the Italian capital. “St. Peter’s Square and Termini Station are areas known to be heat islands and the Colosseum is also a very hot area,” says Greenpeace.
“[This temperature] means that thousands of tourists and Romans are subjected to extremely dangerous conditions for their health. »
Italy is hit by a heat wave with the passage of the Minos anticyclone.
