A transparent platform is to make the story more tangible.
Once like a gladiator in the middle of ancient architecture of the Colosseum? This will soon become a realitybecause, thanks to a pull-out shelf, this is in Future possible.
Mass events were held in the Colosseum in Rome 2000 years ago. Today, access is restricted in order to protect the ancient architecture. However, the Italian Minister of Culture, Dario Franceschini, has now announced that a transparent platform will be erected to cover the visible substructure of the amphitheater. This will allow visitors to admire the historic building even better in future.
It is still unclear exactly how the platform will look or function. Drafts will be accepted by the Italian Ministry of Culture until February 1, 2021. Under one condition: The design must include the necessary criteria, such as the removal of the floor. According to the British Times 10 million euros are available for the project.
The Colosseum in Rome was built in ancient times, has space for more than 50,000 spectators and is therefore considered the largest amphitheater in the world. The former gladiator arena served as a venue for predominantly brutal fighting demonstrations.
