Tod’s Group is proud to support the restoration of the Colosseum, the renowned symbol of Italian history.
THE INTERVENTION PLAN
The “intervention plan” for the restoration of the Flavian amphitheatre is a project requested by the government commissioner for Rome’s archaeological areas and Ancient Ostia in collaboration with the Special Superintendent for the Colosseum and the Rome’s Archaeological Heritage and supported by Tod's.
The first part of the intervention plan is completed with the restoration of the northern and southern prospectus (approximately 13,300 square meters), and the replacement of the actual locking system of arches with new gates.
The plan foresees the restoration of the ambulatory and basements of the Colosseum, the retrofit compliance and implementation of standard equipment and the creation and repositioning from internal to an external visitors’ service and reception area.
COLOSSEUM MAPPING
COLOSSEUM MAPPING
A unique classification, for the benefit of future studies and restorations.
The revised restitution of the monument relief allowed the transfer of all the information stored in the construction site records into digital format, creating four different mappings: state of conservation, constitutive elements, preservative interventions and execution technique.
