Disaster strikes Pompeii... Collapse of several walls

[Jona Lendering]

(i am getting fed up with the disregard for monuments in Italy)

That's a little bit unfair. Italy is responsible for about 1/3 of the UNESCO World Heritage List. Like Greece, the government spends a lot of money to keep the museums open - but they just cannot protect everything.

Personally, I can live with the collapse of an ancient ruin. I do not like it, of course, but just imagine what a real loss it would have been if, say, Brunelleschi's Dome had collapsed. That would have been a disaster. Let the Italian authorities focus on the really important monuments. Once the Scrovegni Chapel collapses, I will immediately agree; but until then, I think the Italians are doing a pretty good job.
