  • Story Text: A jazz concert at the Colosseum in Rome marked the
    closing of a day of memorials in Italy for the victims of the
    last year's September 11 attacks on the United States.



    The jazz concert on Wednesday night (September 11) was
    organised by the mayor of the city of Rome, Walter Veltroni,
    who told the audience that the American musical theme lent itself
    to the commemoration of the anniversary.

    A number of well-known jazz musicians including Enrico
    Rava, Paolo Fresu and Roberto Gatto performed their own
    versions of Broadway favourites from West Side Story and a
    number of the jazz greats including Miles Davis.

    The concert brought to a close the days events which, as
    in cities across the globe, included memorial ceremonies in
    embassies and churchs, where prayers were said for those who
    lost their lives at the World Trade Center (WTC), The Pentagon
    or over Pennsylvania.

    Earlier the tenor Andrea Bocelli sang Ave Maria at the
    U.S. Ambassadors residence in the Italian capital as he had
    done at Ground Zero in New York at another memorial serice at
    the end of last year.

    The musicians played under the watchful eye of the Italian
    police who increased their presence across Italy on the
    anniversary of the attacks.

    The concert featured link-ups with musicians in New York,
    Paris and Milan as well as a segment from Afghanistan.
