Summary

Rome's Colosseum was closed to the public following the death of 22-year-old worker Andrea Moretti, who fell while installing a new lighting system inside the ancient arena. According to one report, he fell more than 30 feet during overnight work. Italy's Culture Minister Alessandro Giuli ordered the closure as a mark of respect, with the facility remaining closed through at least Thursday or Saturday pending completion of the police investigation and assessment of workers' psychological well-being. The incident prompted Italy's largest union, CGIL, to call for an explanation of the circumstances. All construction and maintenance work at the Colosseum was suspended following the accident.
