Because of “Burian”, the Siberian wind that arrived in Italy and left snow at low altitudes, cities like Rome were exceptionally affected. Trained volunteers of New Acropolis Rome were activated – already in the pre-warning phases – by the Department of Civil Protection of the capital, and carried out their 24-hr/day work.
On one of the nights, due to the significant drop in temperature, a team was dedicated to the distribution of hot drinks and bags of hot water to the homeless people living in the streets.
