Piazza S. Silvestro finally gets trees almost a decade after the square's restyling.
Rome's central Piazza S. Silvestro is to have an injection of greenery after the city planted four trees in the square: two melias and two jacarandas.
The arrival of the trees, whose white, purple and fuschia blossoms should bloom in the spring, comes a decade after the piazza ceased to act as bus depot.
The new-look, pedestrianised square, designed by architect Paolo Portoghesi, was unveiled in April 2012 by the city's then mayor Gianni Alemanno.
However Romans soon lamented the absence of greenery in the piazza, particularly in the summer months when there was no shade to escape the heat.
