This is OT but it goes along with what people are trying to point out about others lending a hand to preserve Italy's heritage.
It turns out that an Italian entrepreneur Diego Della Valle has pledged 25 million Euros hock: if the Roma wants it , for the restoration of the Coloseum. According to this RAI telecast, this monument is on the verge of collapsing either partially or completely. Thus Mr. Valle wants to give this incredible sum to save it. 8) 8)
I applaud him for he is the only Italian thus far that has come out to do something. :!: All I wonder now is if the money is given to Rome, will it be used for the restoration or as pointed out earlier in this thread, the corruption will eat away at the money before it reaches the proper hands?
