This is a view of Piazza Venezia, one of Rome's biggest and most congested intersections. In the center you can see a construction site that will one day be a station for the new Line C. 'One day' may be 20 years from now because construction sites in Rome are better described as de facto archaeological sites. They never know exactly what they'll dig up (or how long it'll take), but rest assured it'll be something cool. The goal for Line C is to tunnel 30 meters below the surface, presumably below the oldest ruins, but getting down to that depth has proven to be quite a chore.
