After no big snowfall for 26 years, Rome is being hit by its second snowstorm in a week.
Snow blanketed Rome's suburbs over the weekend, and has settled in the capital's centre.
On Friday, Rome's schools closed as a precaution, and monuments including the Colosseum were shut to the public for fear tourists could fall on ice.
