Rome Street to be Named after Tbilisi

A street in Rome is to be named after Tbilisi.

The decision was made during a meeting held in Rome by the Deputy Mayor of Rome, Luca Bergamo, Deputy Mayor of Tbilisi, Giga Nikoleishvili, and by the Head of Administration of Tbilisi City Hall, Irakli Khutsurauli.

Khutsurauli and Nikoleishvili are currently attending the second edition of ‘Unity in Diversity’ in Italy, a summit being attended by around 60 official representatives of the country.

This year the summit’s key topics are: climate change, cultural and natural heritage protection, and natural energy resources.

The mayors will discuss these topics together with high profile international speakers at this year’s edition of the conference. Further, a special focus will be dedicated to endangered cultural and natural heritage in conflict areas.

The summit is taking place in Florence from November 2-4 2016.
