'Traditional Roman New Year Dive Dedicated To Former Pope' Following the true Roman tradition, the traditional Tiber River New Year's plunge was held in Rome on Sunday. Four Italian divers leapt off the Cavour Bridge, from a height of almost 15 meters into the river Tiber to usher in the New Year. One of the divers, Maurizio Palmulli, dedicated it to Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, who died on Saturday morning. #popebenedictxvi #tiberdive #romantradition Subscribe here: http://bit.ly/ODNsubs TikTok: / ondemandnews Twitter: / odn Facebook: / odn If you wish to purchase any of our clips for commercial use, please visit: http://www.itnproductions.co.uk/news/
