M. Porcius Cato Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Wouldn't you know that an imperial palace would lead to the destruction of the Palatine itself??? Seriously, I'd happily pay a ticket price to the forum if it could help preserve the monuments. I heard from an Italian friend that the number of tourists visiting Italy each year is greater than the number of Italians. Even if this is an exaggeration, it's clear that the cost of preservation should be passed on to tourists like us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P.Clodius Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 True, but its the old question/argument. Where is the money going that IS raised? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentium Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 True, but its the old question/argument. Where is the money going that IS raised? So what you're implying is that the money coming from the Colosseum/forum/Domus Aurea tickets -alone- should be sufficient to preserve and maintain the artistic and historical heritage of Roma? Roma is not just the Palatine, it is also Middle Ages, Rinascimento, Barocco, and so on. Let alone museums, art galleries and such. The entrance to the Pantheon is free and so the one to the forum-related museums and a thousand other cultural sites. That is also because Roma is not an open air museum, there are people who actually live in the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
