Colosseum "On Fire" as Art

Recommended Posts

Check out this video...

 

A giant video installation at Rome's Colosseum was used to create the impression that the ancient ampitheatre was on fire.

 

The installation was designed to shock people into taking better care of their cultural heritage. Organisers said that at least 100,000 people observed the illusion.

The poor old Colosseum might not have been damaged by the Great fire of Rome in AD 64 (considering it wasn't around back then) but it's masonry was looted continuosly throughout the Middle Ages.

Did one of Crassus' descendents come forward offering to buy it on the cheap?
