I watched a special that indicated that conservation of the parts of Pompeii and Herculaneum that had been excavated wasn't doing so well, and that lots was being lost.

I would hope Italy puts some money into conservation of what has already been excavated.

I don’t know, seems like balancing the Italian budget to bring it in line with the EU requirements are far more important than preserving irreplaceable unique ancient ruins that, if they were properly conserved, could lead to more income from more tourism. /s
