The 22nd district of the City Council of Rome unanimously approved
a resolution for erection of a Khachkar commemorating the Armenian
Genocide. Already, on May 4, 2006, at the initiative of architect
Vahed Vartanian and under the patronage of the City Hall of Rome,
a commemorative plate had been placed on the Milvio bridge on
the occasion of triple twinning between the bridges Allahverdi-Kan
(Isfahan-Iran), Sanahin bridge (Alaverdi – Armenia) and Milvio bridge
(Rome – Italy). According to certain writings, King Trdat III and
Holy Grigor the Illuminator crossed the Milvio Bridge 300 after
Jesus-Christ to carry to Rome their Christian testimony.
