The reason that this and all other Vatican councils in the future will be held in Rome is because Rome is the head of the Catholic Church.
By the way as a bonus fact, most people think that Vatican City is part of Italy because it is in the center, but it isn't. Vatican is it's own independent nation. Hope this helps! ;)
