Nice sunny day...
Somehow, I never took the Coliseum very seriously. In particular, I didn't know that it was built on the spoils from the Judean war:
I didn't know either that it is called Colosseo not because it's huge but because it had a huge statue at the entrance.
Inside, an interesting exhibit about protecting art as national heritage, including this cute 19-th century statue "Young Michelangelo carving a faun's head."
