Minister of Culture of Italy Lorenzo Ornagi (Lorenzo Ornaghi) at a press conference on Tuesday talked about, but when will the long-awaited restoration of the Colosseum. In going through hard economic times in Italy for the protection and restoration of monuments now stand a very meager budget. However, with the help of sponsors of the cultural heritage of the country is left to fend for themselves. On the restoration of the Colosseum shoe magnate (CEO Tod's) Diego Della Valle (Diego Della Valle) has allocated 25 million euros.
Restoration work will begin in December this year and last, according to preliminary estimates, June 2015-th. In some stages will strengthen the underground tunnels and rooms, will restore the facade and main entrance, will restore the lost metal fasteners and build a tourist center. Minister Ornagi promised that at the time of the work available to the Colosseum for tourists will not be blocked.
One question concerning the restoration, experts disagree: some people believe that one side of the Coliseum slipped over the other as much as 40 centimeters, and that restoration should try to fix this subsidence. Proponents of the opposite point of view in favor of non-interference in this "Pisa problem," the Coliseum. According to them, nothing will happen to the building 150 meters in diameter, if a part of it falls a few inches.
