Considering the Hotel Villa Grazioli in Rome?

THE COLOSSEUM...Probably the most recognised and most visited site in Rome. Built in the 1st century AD it seated 50,000 people in its heyday and would rival most American National Football Stadiums in present day. A sad fact is at one time the its stone structure was actually quarried and used for other buildings around Rome. It is impossible to see this structure and not visualise past events and plug into its enormous energy. The concept of BREAD and CIRCUSES in its ultimate and original form. It's events would be tantamount to the SUPERBOWL as a sociol/cultural event today. The Detriot Lions might play the Minnesota Vikings...the winner would be on the post-game interview with Dennis Miller,,,the loser would become a post-game meal. The stakes were pretty high then...
