The Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) will decide in April whether Rome or Venice will be Italy’s candidate for the 2020 Olympic Games.
The cities have until the end of February to present their bids before CONI takes “at least until the end of April” to vet them and make a final choice.
Two other Italian cities – Palermo and Bari – were ruled out because they did not meet the “minimum” requirements. Head of CONI Gianni Petrucci said at the time that “Rome and Venice are the only serious bidders, all the rest is just so much talk”.
Bids must be presented by the end of 2011 and the winning city will be announced in 2013.
