Rome to Let Tourists See Colosseum Underground

Where is this is already allowed, Capua? I seem to recall you can see the plumbing there for flooding the place. I wonder if the one in Pozzuoli ever allows it... the underground looks in good shape and inviting, but was roped off on my visit.

 

P.S. I wonder what to make of captions on site that make some amazing claim that you don't see in any other literature. Or on the other hand they ignore a key point in all the literature, as if they think it may not be true. In other words, how much gravitas for the signs... a lot, or could it sometimes be the product of a few loose cannons or pranksters that can't be stopped due to union rules?

Yes, both Capua and Pozzuoli, iirc.
