Rome's Colosseum was to be bathed in golden light on the nights of September 30 and October 1 to celebrate the Philippines' decision to suspend death row executions, Rome's city council said.
"It's a message of hope that the eternal city wants to send to all countries that still carry put executions," a council statement said, emphasising the Italian capital's commitment against the death penalty.
"With this gesture we want to back an international moratorium on executions to defend the most basic of human rights."
The Philippines government announced it had suspended all executions while Congress debates a proposed law abolishing the death penalty.
Since an anti-capital punishment campaign began in 2000, The Colosseum has been lit with bright, gold lights for two days every time, anywhere in the world, a death penalty is suspended or commuted or a nation abolishes capital punishment.
