Hello, newbie here. This is old news but still heartbreaking. I've always dreamed of visiting Rome and other places of historical importance in Europe, but I wonder if there isn't a better way for me to use my money. I was reading just the other day about the damage tourism has done to Pompei while the ruins there deteriorate in the open. Are there non-profits out there which take in money for historical preservation? Not necessarily limited to Rome or Italy. I know there are lots of important causes out there, but preserving the shared history of mankind and the origins of our civilization is important too I think.
