The “balding” Christmas Tree standing in the center of Rome has become a serious problem for the city authorities. The defenders of consumers’ rights accuse them of corruption and demand investigation. 50 thousand euro has been spent to bring the tree from Austria. Two weeks after being placed in Piazza Venezia, the tree started withering and became a laughing stock. Rome authorities blame the mistakes made during the transportation.
