Tens of thousands of people stood in line for three days to bid farewell to Pope Francis, who died Monday at the age of 88 after having a heart attack.
Therefore, both the Italian government and the Vatican have launched a comprehensive security plan.
More than 2 thousand police officers have been deployed, along with an anti-drone system and a 24-hour no-fly zone over Rome, which has already been deployed.
Fighter jets are on alert, and special police sniper units are placed on the rooftops of buildings along the “Via della Conciciazione”, the road leading to St. Peter's Square.
The parking lot is banned, and the checkpoints have been established with the help of hundreds of volunteers to filter out walking crowds.
