Culture Minister Alberto Bonisoli
on Thursday ruled out erecting a Ferris wheel at Pompeii as
proposed in an article in a local newspaper Wednesday.
"It's absolutely out of the question," Bonisoli said of the
proposed 60metre-high wheel opposite the ancient city.
The wheel, to enable tourists to have a bird's eye view of
Pompeii, was proposed to be temporary, but even this idea was
ruled out by the minister.
"We won't even discuss it. Nothing has arrived at our
offices, but if it were to arrive we would return it to sender".
