    Thank you, Italy, for trying to preserve history for the whole of the world. I haven't toured the Colosseum in over 30 years. Sounds like I need to return.

    Great job. I appreciate the voice dubs. It makes it much easier to watch while working. Thanks.

    My wife and I spend a week in Rome, split before and after our 16 night cruise through the Med and Black Sea (It was our Honeymoon). We visited the Colosseum and were enthralled by it. I hope to vist Rome/Italy again someday soon and look forward to seeing what the restoration has yielded.

    This lady doesnt physically work. Her method of checking the walls has insured her work til her time ends. πŸ˜’

    Stand up and work without complaining, says the man that benefits from your labor.

    Next to the Egyptian pyramids and the Great Wall in China, probably no other man-made structure captivates interest world-wide like the Colosseum.

    Love the way Italy entreprise works providing private funding to restore and maintain monuments and be part of culture. Gucci in Florence is not a shop it is an institution with the most amazing headquarters in such an impressive castle.
  • From a quick search Italian tourism brings in euros 162.7 billion in 2014, what is all the hooha about costs?? Would it not be an investment to maintain these things?

    An amazing building in a fascinating city. I have visited a few times and thoroughly enjoyed my time there. I welcome the attempts to maintain and preserve this monument.

    43:04 - ". . . the World's most famous stage . . .". A "stage" and a reminder of human suffering. It's great to see the effort put in to restore and preserve these edifices for humanity.

    We took a tour a few years ago. The underground areas are amazing and have been restored somewhat. Amazing to see!

    8:02 The arch was created in Egypt and Mesopotamia long before the Etruscans.

    For over a thousand years no one did anything to it until now
  • @Cheka__
    I'm looking forward to the completion of the renovation, a thousand years from now.
  • @umadbra
    It's so advanced because after a couple thousand of years, it's still standing up.
  • @jholt03
    I wish they would restore the Colosseum exactly to the way it was when Vespasian had it built.
