One WTC to Be Lit in Colors of Italian Flag Thursday
The lights of One World Trade Center’s 408-foot spire will be displayed in the green, white and red colors of the Italian flag on Thursday evening to honor victims of the earthquake in Italy, announced New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in a press release on Thursday.
