The government has approved a $245-million budget to give Rome a face-lift and help combat the traffic and pollution in the Eternal City. The package approved Tuesday by the Cabinet includes $107 million for the construction of a government and business complex on 1,600 acres on the eastern edge of the city. At least $15 million was earmarked for an archeological park from the Roman Forum to the Old Appian Way.
