Pompei is just one of the millions of shames in Italy.
Collapsing fo some walls can be a "natural" thing for 1950 years old walls, the scandal is that too few things are in place to mantain the site.
I have read recently a 10 pages report on one arechological magazine (Archeo) that summarizes last 30 years of bad managing of Pompeii and responsabilities have to be shared from the Government leaders to the last of the men working on the site. Inefficence, bad laws, thiefs, lazy people: a classic in Italy.
Do you know that Pompeii in 2009 had 20 millions euros that was not possible to spend because the italian law didn't admin that? Do you know that for the current law Pompeii cannot hire any more people? This means also that if someone retires, it cannot be substituted...!
Incredible eh?
What about security? There is nothing, basically during the night anyone can rob what he wants. Yes during the day can rob the same as tourist...
During this year a stupid decision was ot basically rebuild the Pompeii's theater destroying the ancient structures (the ones that were not visible such as the idraulic system to launch parfumed water over the spectators), but to do this the government "decided" that it was a "national emergency" and involved the "Civil Protection" to make that job by passing the current laws...
There is an idea in the parliament: to ask to some foreign heritage manager company to manage Pompeii....
