Decizie rară la Roma: Colosseumul, închis pentru o zi

A tragic workplace accident led to the closure of the Colosseum in Rome, a rare decision by authorities. A 22-year-old worker fell from a height of 10 meters while installing a lighting system. The Italian Ministry of Culture announced the closure on September 23, 2026, marking the first such closure since the COVID-19 pandemic. Minister Alessandro Giuli expressed condolences to the worker's family and emphasized the emotional impact of the incident. Initially, only the upper level was to be restricted, but the entire site was closed for public safety. The Colosseum is typically closed only on specific holidays or for significant events.
