(ANSA) - ROME, 04 JAN - One hundred thousand people are expected for the funeral of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI tomorrow in Rome.
This is what the ordinance of the Capitoline Police Headquarters would provide, which will be signed in the evening.
To access St. Peter's Square, defined as maximum security, it will be necessary to undergo checks with a 'rapiscan' and metal detector.
Pre-filtering will instead be arranged in the surrounding areas (the pre-filtering area, with the first checks, includes Porta Angelica in Sant'Anna, as well as two gates on via della Conciliazione and Sant'Uffizio).
The no fly zone will be expanded beyond the square.
The presence of helicopters, snipers, special inter-force departments including those of anti-terrorism, firefighters, 118 and local police is arranged.
There will be over a thousand agents employed.
Furthermore, the sale and transport of glass containers will be prohibited in the area until 2 pm. (ANSA).
