Italian culture ministry pays tribute to Francis.
Rome's Colosseum will be plunged into darkness on Tuesday night as a "sign of mourning" for Pope Francis who died on Monday aged 88, Italy's culture ministry has announced.
The symbolic gesture, starting from 20.00, is a homage to the late pontiff "and his tireless commitment to peace, dialogue and human dignity", the ministry said in a statement.
Italy has declared five days of national mourning as Vatican and Rome authorities make arrangements for the papal funeral on Saturday.
