Rome is to have a piazza named after German theologian and reformer Martin Luther, which will be close to the Colosseum.
City authorities finally approved a 2009 proposal by the Union of Seventh Day Adventist Churches to mark the 500th anniversary of the start of the Reformation.
The Vatican reportedly did not oppose the project, and this was seen as a key step in the project’s go-ahead.
The “Piazza Martin Lutero” will be officially named on September 16, 2016.
The piazza will be located in the Parco del Colle Oppio park, crossing the Viale Fortunato Mizzi.
The descriptive shield will read: “Martin Luther square. German Theologian.”
