Visitors to the Colosseum soon will be able to enjoy automated drinking water distributors and a cafeteria inside the Flavian amphitheatre, newly appointed Rome archeology superintendent Francis Prosperetti told Art Tribune magazine in an interview Friday.
Prosperetti, who is superintendant since February, discussed ways of financing further restoration of Rome's monuments by taking advantage of the six million tourists who visit the Colosseum each year.
"We must work on ticketing, on membership, on time, on queues, on fundraising which can also be crowdfunding, given the number of contacts that we have," he explained.
"The British Museum makes a lot of money and provides quality service," he pointed out.
The aim is to attract larger crowds by linking up with the contemporary art and theater world, such as a new Henry Moore show opening at the Baths of Diocletian, he said.
