This is the dramatic moment firefighters abseiled down the Colosseum to unfurl a massive Italian flag in celebration of Republic Day.

Footage shows the tricoloured flag being lowered over the ancient structure, billowing against the stone walls in Rome on June 2.

Twenty-four fire crews, hanging from harnesses, worked in unison to complete the breathtaking tribute.

Republic Day, or Festa della Repubblica, marks the day in 1946 when Italians voted in a referendum to abolish the monarchy and establish a republic following World War II.
