It's all looking up for Rome's Colosseum

ROME－Italy's culture minister announced the winning bid to restore the Colosseum's arena on Sunday, a project that will allow visitors to view the archaeological wonder from ground level as soon as 2023.

The 2,000-year-old structure is currently floorless, the ruins of the underground levels' walls and tunnels exposed to the open air save for a small platform.

A Milan engineering firm beat 10 competitors that answered a 2020 call for submissions with its vision involving rotating wooden slats that would allow natural ventilation and lighting of the lower levels.
