Rome Burns Part II


Rome is one of my all-time favorite cities. The art, the food, the people, the awesome sense of  history you get just from walking down the street...there is no place like the Eternal City.

And speaking of history, sometimes old is new: artists Thyra Hilden of Denmark and Pio Diaz of Argentina are planning to burn the coliseum next week...
The installation, titled “Coliseum on Fire,” is part of a wider project, City on Fire, to which the artists have devoted themselves to for some years, creating virtual fires in important institutions, monuments, museums, and churches throughout Europe.

I think I hear fiddle music...

Read more about the project and see other monuments they would like to burn here.
