 A particular characteristic to this Internet site
        is the installation of a motorized camera located on the terrace of Rome's Palazzo
        Senatorio that allows a television presence. On Decembre 30, 1999 has
          been installed a new camera (West) adding to the first one
          mounted on May, 1999 (East).
