3). ROME – Mayor Virginia Raggi; in: “Rome 2024 Olympic bid collapses in acrimony.” BBC NEWS / London (21/09/2016).

‘…One of Raggi’s first acts as mayor was the withdrawal of the 2024 Olympic bid stating that “with 13 billion euros in debt, Rome can’t afford taking on more debt to make cathedrals in the desert”.

— Mayor Virginia Raggi [22 June 2016 – 21 October 2021], Rome; in: “New Rome mayor maintains opposition to 2024 Olympic bid”.
Rome: ANSA (22 June 2016).

Rome, Italy – ‘…Rome is set to drop its bid to host the Olympic Games in 2024, after its anti-establishment mayor said it would be “irresponsible” to be a candidate’…’

The Roma 2024 committee issued a statement saying they were “profoundly surprised and disappointed”.

They were disappointed “that a new political force is unwilling to accept the challenge of modernisation,” it said, claiming that the Games would have boosted Rome’s economy by $1.7bn (£1.3bn; €1.5bn).

But Ms Raggi disagreed. “We are effectively asking the people of Rome and of Italy to shoulder the debts. We just don’t support it,” she told reporters.

“No to the Olympics of concrete, absolutely not! No to cathedrals in the desert,” she said, suggesting that Rome would have been left with redundant sports facilities.
