Review by: Marie Bracks, 02 October 2009

'To understand the colosseum you need to know it was built more than 2000 years ago & it''s still there, meanwhile life kept moving ahead re: comment a traffic roundabout also the size of ITALY is about the size of Victoria. Since I live in Italy I have seen it at least 12 times & never had a pickpocket but have always seen tourists graffiti the walls of the colosseum! no wonder they don''t have concerts there. Sites need to be looked at with imagination, thought, wonder, knowledge not just looked at with eyes. REALITY: It''s sad that there exists people like this who are allowed to put such ignorant comments out and spoil it for others.'
