If a mosque cost $16 million to build, what's the price tag for the morg's temples!??

It has been said that rich saudi princes fund these mosques to do exactly what the morg does- build a temple to showoff even if there will be few to attend.

Wonder what the rome temple attendance will be outside of tourists!

The trouble with the Rome temple is that it's in an out of the way location. So there is little reason for nevermo tourists to go there. The Mormon presence in Italy is not huge. The Rome temple will likely attract Italian members, Mormon tourists, missionaries, and Mormon expats.

IIRC, it is located near an IKEA store, so it might attract curiosity from families shopping there. But my experience of IKEA stores is that families shopping there are normally very focused on the store experience (shopping, eating a meal there, loading up their cars, etc.)
