The second level of the Colosseum in Rome is closed due to the death of a worker inside overnight, the Italian culture ministry said in a statement.
The second level of Rome's Colosseum is closed following the death of a worker inside overnight, according to the Italian culture ministry. Andrea Moretti, a specialist high-altitude rope access worker, tragically passed away last night after sustaining injuries in a workplace accident within the Flavian Amphitheatre. As a sign of respect, the Colosseum Archaeological Park has decided to restrict access to the public for the day, specifically the second-tier section where the incident occurred.
Police have taken charge of investigating the circumstances surrounding the unfortunate event. Minister of Culture Alessandro Giuli conveyed heartfelt condolences to all, mourning the senseless loss of a young man while performing his job duties. Built in the first century, the Colosseum stands as the largest amphitheatre in the world and is renowned for hosting events such as animal hunts and gladiatorial games. At peak times, it attracts approximately 20,000 visitors each day.
