The Colosseum is a symbol of Rome and Italy, with which everyone is familiar, even those who’ve never visited us. It is majestic and grandiose, as its name suggests, but also reassuring in a way: just like an old friend or a great grandfather who still dispenses advice to the family, the Colosseum has always been there, as sturdy as a rock.

It is precious and iconic, so nobody was surprised when, in 1980, it became part of the UNESCO World Heritage and when, in 2007, it became one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
