1eb!ildin the Colosse!m
#he Colosseum is like Rome itself. .fter all
these centuries, it never runs out of sur"rises.
!ne of the latest turned u" on a second5tier
corridor only a few weeks ago an amateurish
but detailed drawing scratched into the wall.
$+"erts say the graffitist was "robably a fight
fan "assing the wait between bouts, 7,,)) or
more years ago.
.s trivial as the discovery may sound,
its "ure treasure to Roselle Rea. &hes the
chief archaeologist for an eight5year, 7@5
million5dollar "ro2ect currently underway at
the mightiest of Romes ancient monuments.
?hen the overhaul is finished in 9))=, visitors
will be able to e+"lore "arts of the %lavian
.m"hitheater 1the buildings "ro"er name3 that
have been out of "ublic view for centuries I
and a few that were off5limits even in the days
of the em"erors.
#he "lace was falling a"art. #he whole
outer wall I whats left of it I was at risk,
according to the "ro2ects chief architect. #he
restorers had to mend a widening fissure that
e+tended nearly the entire height of the north
face. #he foundation needed stabili;ing, and
some of the e+terior arches had to be shored u"
with su""lementary arches. 0uge blocks of
marble and ancient concrete were coa+ed back
into alignment, millimetre by millimetre. &ince
the com"letion of that "hase last year, workers
have begun scouring away centuries of soot
from the outer walls to e+"ose the monuments
original golden tinge.
'ig changes are continuing inside. Dntil
the "ro2ect began, only 7( "ercent of the
Colosseum was o"en to the "ublic. Now
visitors can tour some =( "ercent. #wo years
from now, when the scheduled renovations are
com"lete, @( "ercent will be accessible,
including underground sections where animals
were caged and gladiators "re"ared for battle.
#he to"most tier will be o"en again, too,
giving tourists a "anoramic view of the city for
the first time in almost 7,()) years.
.t "resent the Roman landmark still has
room for im"rovement. You can stand in line
two hours or more, without a trace of shade,
2ust waiting to get in. %or "eo"le too old or
infirm to climb the treacherously stee" main
stairway, an elevator has been installed I but
good luck finding it. #he refreshment stands
are over"riced, and the restrooms are
inade6uate. .nd always watch your wallet
des"ite the best efforts of "olice to kee" a close
eye on the "lace, a day never "asses without at
least one "urse snatched or a "ocket "icked.
!n bad days as many as >) such "etty crimes
are re"orted.
%ar bigger "roblems may be on the way.
#he Colosseum remains first on the city
su"erintendent of archaeologys list of Romes
most endangered monuments. :t was built over
an underground stream whose waters have
undermined it ever since. !ver the centuries
the building has survived three ma2or
earth6uakes, a disastrous fire and the fall of
Rome. 4edieval Romans used it as a garbage
dum" and as a 6uarry for the builders of &t.
Peters 'asilica and other churches. #oday the
am"hitheatre marks one of the busiest
intersections in the city, and a subway roars a
few meters outside. #he abuse adds u".
$+"erts warn , some walls will need to be
totally rebuilt within 7) years.
&ome forms of wear and tear can only
get worse. Last year some 9.( million "eo"le
toured the Colosseum, and the renovation is
sure to attract even more. $very footste" wears
away a little more of its marble floors and
stairways. 'ut thats one "roblem that doesnt
give e+"erts any 6ualms. /ee"ing an old
monument closed to visitors is like locking a
vintage car in a museum. :t may be nice to
look at, but if you try to start the engine, it
wont work. #ourists are good for the
Colosseum. #hey hel" kee" it in working
order.
