Tourists take a "selfie" in front of the Arch of Constantine in Rome
Tourists take a "selfie" in front of the Arch of Constantine in Rome July 12, 2015. Dirty and disorganised, Rome is once more in decline. City hall is paralysed by allegations of Mafia infiltration, its basic services are in tatters, the main airport is partially closed, and wild cat strikes have frayed an already ropey public transport network. For generations, the Italian capital has rested on past glories rather than built on them. The years of neglect, corruption and bureaucratic bungling have taken a fierce toll, reflecting a wider malaise that afflicts Italy as a whole. Picture taken July 12, 2015. REUTERS/Tony Gentile
