Rome's magic circle

Article Abstract:

There are clear indications that the structure of the Colosseum in Rome, Italy, is deteriorating. The floor has been completely eroded, and large sections of the alleyway which leads into the stands are also missing. This building has suffered extensive damage throughout its history, and it is surprising to many observers that it is still standing at all. Romans regard the Colosseum as a charmed monument which brings good luck to the entire city.

Economics professor Romano Prodi has begun a campaign to bring the centre-left to power at Italy's next general elections.

He is now embarking on a three-month tour of debates, speeches and meetings in 100 towns and cities across Italy.
