The Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) has chosen Rome as the country’s bidder for the 2020 Olympic Games.
The Italian capital, which hosted the Games in 1960, beat off competition from Venice, whose hopes were dashed when a report by a special committee ruled that its bid did not fulfil the necessary criteria.
"Venice would not reach the points threshold laid down by the International Olympic Committee," a CONI report said.
The International Olympic Committee will decide in 2013 who will host the 2020 Summer Games.
