"[The project] has finally restored the perception of the monument's original size and floor level," architect Stefano Boeri said in a statement. "It also offers the public the opportunity to approach its walls and imagine the rhythm and sequence of the ambulatories and arches, now lost. It's a respectful and useful project that completes research carried out by the archaeologists of the Colosseum Archaeological Park."

The association said that from the beginning of June to at least the end of August, the opening hours of the Colosseum area should run from 7am to 8.15pm. For three years, we've been asking for the opening of the whole park to be brought forward to 7am and for closing to be postponed by an hour, said AGTA. These changes would benefit the public health of everyone: visitors, guides and other workers.
