An article on Pompeii there I had in mind since October 10 when the Cultural Association "You and us," we visited the ruins. To be honest, I thought to make a chronicle of a normal cultural trip, with lots of excitement of the remains of an ancient civilization vanished, and instead following the events of recent days I find myself, as they say in on the news. It 'a fact, news of today, November 17 at this writing, the scheduling of a motion of no confidence for the individual to the Cultural Minister Sandro Bondi, following the collapse of the Domus of the Gladiators. These days, if they are called Pompeii of cooked and raw. The same minister Bondi defended himself saying that he's dug out before nell'incuria more total, and until a few years ago were a gathering place for stray dogs. In this note we give to the Minister of simple witnesses. That October 10th, we walked the streets of Pompeii noting the tracks left by the wagons, we have entered houses where they still preserve precious paintings, we photographed the vineyards, followed the strange phallic arrows that led the brothel, trying to understand how the "howls" of call of the prostitutes (the wolves) were a time audible to the sea. We admired dismayed casts of people who have been suddenly swept away by the escaping lava from Vesuvius in 79 C. A terrible tragedy. And then we were astonished when we came across the famous "Cave canem" (watch dog), where it is shown a ferocious mastiff. We looked around, but even the shadow of dogs. The problem is another: "Pompeii fell to pieces - says the weekly Panorama - Everyone knew and no one intervened." So in a bad rainy day, November 6 last year, is coming down the House of Gladiators. A news that has been around the world almost like the tragedy of the earthquake of the Eagle once again discrediting the image of Italy. Responsibility, but perhaps there are not for us to say. The ruins, precisely because they are such fragile ep therefore require constant maintenance. As a tourist, Pompei seemed too well-preserved, perhaps better than many other Italian archaeological remains. Will then be asked if you are dealt bad luck if the Domus gladiator has sold to over the centuries, or if luck is still ancient structures stand. Investing more in conservation of cultural heritage is a must for various reasons, including economic, but above for the very survival of our civilization. As recounted in the famous saying: As long as there is the Colosseum and Rome until Rome there is the world.
