The first will consist in cleaning the building with jet spray, mapping the state of preservation of the amphitheater, removing the 'ugly ' metal fencing on the ground floor arches and replacing with new railing. The northern and southern prospect will be restored too.
Soon the largest Colosseum's restoration in the past 70 years will start. It's supposed to last till 2015 and will be divided in different phases.

The northern and southern prospect will be restored too. Today, during this extremely pleasant walking tour with my dear friends we got this nice surprise of a raimbow by Spanish steps, or Scalinata di Trinità dei Monti, the real name of it.
Believe it or not it was my first time to see a rainbow downtown!! A view of The Christmas tree in St. Peter square seen from the columnate. Traditionally the vatican tree is the highest in town and is donated to the pope by a East Europen country. I've missed which one donated this splendid one this year.
As you can see the decoration are golden and silver, the colors of the Holy See. Happy new year everyone!! |
