President Monson surprised members of the Church when he announced that a temple would be built in Rome, Italy during the October 2008 general conference.
The temple exterior will be constructed from granite and have decorative glazing. The interior finish will be of the finest material and workmanship: marble, woodwork, Venetian plaster and decorative painting. The three-story temple will be approximately 40,000 square feet with two tall spires.
“This truly is a historic and memorable day,” said Elder Walker of the First Quorum of the Seventy. “This great city is known for its history, for its beauty and for its Christian tradition and now it will be home to one of the temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.”
