The heart of Rome's Colosseum will be opened to the public after lengthy renovations. A new walkway opens up an area of the monument not accessible to visitors before

ROME, June 25 - "The beating heart of Rome is not the marble of the Senate, it's the sand of the Colosseum," the Roman senator Gracchus said in the 2000 Oscar-winning movie "Gladiator".

More than 80 archaeologists, architects and engineers worked on the 15,000 sq metre "hypogeum" for two years to "bring back to the centre of the attention a monument that the whole world loves", according to Diego della Valle, chairman of Tod’s, the Italian fashion group that funded the work. "It is ... important for relevant companies to make themselves available to the country, understanding what they can do for the country," Della Valle said.
