That’s a worrying trend as Italians look forward to holiday parties and getaways to spend time with friends and family, after being deprived of such festivities last year. The number of new COVID-19 infections in Italy has been on a gradual rise for the past six weeks, even before concerns arose about the new omicron variant. I work in a young company, and it was a race to get the vaccine,” Bianchi said. ”Frankly, I think we are tired of being locked down. She favors the government’s moves to encourage more people to get vaccinated, and said she noted that people in their 20s like her are more apt to get the vaccine. “But they didn’t check the ticket either,” she said. But few checks were evident around the main Central Station, either for regional trains or local buses and subways.Ĭommuter Veronica Bianchi said her health pass wasn’t checked on a regional train arriving in Milan. Milanese were enjoying the first long weekend of the season, including Tuesday’s celebration for the patron saint of Saint Ambrose and Wednesday’s national holiday, leaving commuter routes more empty than usual.
“It was about time that they checked it,” said Sara Ben, a Rome commuter, noting the absence of controls on the often -packed local transportation throughout the pandemic. Still, a 50-year-old Roman became the first to receive a 400-euro ($450) fine after getting off the bus at the northern Flaminio station without the “basic” health pass, said Stefano Napoli, deputy chief of Rome’s municipal police force. In the capital, Rome, dozens of police were out at transportation hubs checking both green passes and personal identification, finding a cooperative mood among commuters. 15.Īuthorities also imposed a requirement that at least “basic” health pass, which can be obtained with a negative test, must be used to get on local transport and to check into hotels. Smart phone applications that verify people’s health pass status have been updated to prevent entry to concerts, movies or performances to those who have merely tested negative in recent days.

Will definitely take my Catholic friends / family to worship there, when they visit me next. It is a 15 min walk from Edogawabashi station on the Yurakucho subway line Exit 1A or Bus No:61 departs from Mejiro Station on the JR Yamanote line and drops you directly outside the Cathedral. The cathedral is a little out of the way. It was definitely a wonderful experience to be part of this occasion.
The huge Pipe Organ, designed to gel in with the architecture, sounded deep, strong and majestic. To top it off, I thought I had gatecrashed a couple's wedding ceremony but it seems other visitors were also graciously invited to witness the proceedings, too. The pamphlet has a picture showing a nice birds eye view of the cathedral where you can see it has eight walls that form a large cross and the outer stainless steel supports symbolises the light of Christ while the dull, concrete walls inside the cathedral represent God as the pillar, rock and foundation of Christians. Mary's Cathedral looks absolutely modern and different. Most cathedrals have a Gothic, Renaissance or Romanesque design and architecture but St. Couldn't imagine this was designed and built in 1963-64 by Tange Kenzo. The design is definitely impressive and I was surprised to know it was a place of worship. After exiting the hotel I was attracted by the strong glare being reflected from the cathedral's facade. Actually went to celebrate fall foliage at Chinzanzo Hotel on Friday Dec 23rd which was a National Holiday.
