This photo taken on Dec. 19, 2017 shows, Rome's official Christmas tree standing in front of the Unknown Soldier monument in downtown Rome. Rome's city cabinet decided on the tree's &quot;new life&quot; Tuesday, Jan. 9, 2018, hoping to close an embarrassing chapter that saw the tree, so droopy and dried out it was nicknamed &quot;Mangy&quot; by Romans, come to symbolize the city's degradation and dysfunction under its 5-Star mayor, Virginia Raggi, and years of neglect and corruption before her.
