Italy’s Ministry of Culture has raised € 18. 5 million tenders to rebuild the Colosseum arena floor as it was until it was fully exposed about a century ago.
« It will be a major technological intervention that will allow visitors not only to see the underground as they do today, but also to contemplate the beauty of the Colosseum from the center of the arena, » declared Minister of Culture Dario Franceschini.
The « compatible and reversible » floor would « enable the public to fully understand the use and function of this icon of antiquity, including through cultural events at the highest level, » says the statement on the Ministry of Culture’s website.
In the days of Imperial Rome, the arena’s sand-covered wooden floor was built over the network of tunnels and cells where animals and gladiators were locked up before competitions began.
The idea of rebuilding the Colosseum Arena was launched in 2014 by archaeologist Daniele Manacorda and emphatically supported by Franceschini, who tweeted at the time: « All that is needed is a little courage. «
Now it seems that both the courage and the funding are there. The announcement is until 1. Opened February and work is expected to start in 2021.
