Rome is on the verge of collapse and needs urgent repair, leaders warn. This time instead of burning it’s just going to fall apart. Or, as they say in Italy, siamo fottuti!

I don't live in Italy so why should I care? If the people running Rome and Italy really care about the place they can do something about it.
Because it is a cornerstone of our Western civilization and Western heritage, that's why.
Maybe we should pay more attention to what killed Rome rather that what's left..If we keep going like we are, the USA will be in ruins.
Meh
Nero, is that you? ;)
They burned Christians there... so meh
Lions too.
Indeed...
Rome rocks. I hope they get their act together and save all that history.
Agree with both of you. What really urinates me off is this reminded me I read an article over 30 years ago (Omni, Discover magazine?) detailing all this even then. It's not like they didn't have a heads-up.
Agree. Central Rome is worth saving at any cost.
"It is unacceptable that a major city which calls itself developed can find itself in such a state of decay."
Really? Have you been to Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, St Louis, etc?
Maybe some of these Romans should visit Detroit..They would go home feeling lucky...
A triumph of futurist social thinking combined with traditional Italian corruption.
