Oh, and guess what they've managed to work into the story? "One of the big problems is global warming. The climate is changing. From time to time, the city is deluged with water from freak rainstorms." I guess we know where the money will be extorted to save these ancient ruins...

It’s amazing that Italian politicians don’t realize that the main reason tourists go to Italy is it’s culture and famous sites.
They should be spending millions on improving their main tourist attractions. I’m sure the tourists would be willing to spend even more for tickets and tours.
