Barack Obama makes a visit to Rome

Rome is preparing today to receive the U.S. President Barack Obama, with an imposing display of security measures that could paralyze the city life.

The 26 armored cars and eight motorcycles that it will accompany President Obama will may cause circulation stops in the places that the U.S. leader will pass.

The airspace will be closed this evening, when the presidential  Air Force One plane will arrive and tomorrow as well, during certain intervals, and on Friday morning, at the departure, according to the local media.

Jammer jamming systems that can disrupt mobile phones will be activated.

Tomorrow, Barack Obama will meet with Pope Francis, the president of Italy, Giorgio Napolitano, and the Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi. In the afternoon, the one considered the most powerful man in the world is to visit the iconic Colosseum amphitheater, which will remain closed to the public all day.

Everything is ready for several days, when agents of the FBI, CIA and the President's personal security team were installed in Rome. In total, a small 'army' of at least a thousand people will watch every corner of the Eternal City.

 
On this occasion they announced at least two protests: tomorrow morning in St. Peter Square at the Vatican, and, in the afternoon, in front of the U.S. Embassy.
