The Colosseum was lit up Monday night to celebrate a senate vote in the American state of Montana to abolish the death penalty. The initiative, in collaboration with the city of Rome, is repeated every time a death sentence is commuted or capital punishment abolished anywhere in the world. The Sant'Egidio community has been actively campaigning worldwide against capital punishment and has collected over five million signatures in favor of this in 153 countries. Rome has become the symbol of the global movement A City For Life - A City against the Death Penalty, to which over 900 cities currently belong.
