Rome, February 2 – Monuments across Italy will be lit up with purple for International Epilepsy Day on Monday as part of a global initiative to raise awareness of the widespread neurological condition. The leaning tower of Pisa, the Barcaccia fountain in Rome’s Piazza di Spagna and the Maschio Angioino castle in Naples are just three of the monuments that will be tinged with the internationally recognized ‘symbol’ of epilepsy for the event that takes place on the second Monday in February each year.
