Rome’s Colosseum reopens after yearslong restoration
Italian fashion company Tod’s Group is proud to have participated in the restoration of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, giving this internationally renowned monument, a symbol of both Roman and Italian history, back to the world.
The end of the second phase of the project celebrates the history of this iconic landmark and the symbolic message of trust in its repair.
The restoration of the Colosseum is an initiative that was developed by the Commissioner of the Archaeological area of Rome and Ostia Antica in agreement with Rome’s Archaeological Heritage Department.
At the end of the works, a 160-meter-long walkway was installed in the Colosseum, opening up to visitors an area of the monument that had never been accessible before. After 781 days from the opening of the construction site and more than 55,700 hours of work, the restoration activities have brought back a total area of 15,000 square meters to its former glory.
The project will continue with the restoration of the building’s galleries of the Colosseum’s second order, and with the overall optimization of the technical implementation. Finally, the service center will be relocated and moved in the outer area of the Colosseum, allowing visitors to access it in a more comfortable manner.
