		<description><![CDATA[Newagencies all over the world testified to the collapse of a Roman building within the complex of the Schola Armaturarum Juventus Pompeiani in the renowned city of Pompeii. The building may have survived earthquakes, volcano eruptions, wars, the Camora and almost 2.500.000 tourists a year but it has not survived the recent abundant rains! At least, this is what the Italian Minister of Culture, Sandro Bondi, claimed. It is obvious to me that the rains had nothing to do with the incompetence of the Italian government and the negligence that Silvio Berlusconi shows with regard to the National monuments. The National Association of Archaeologists and his president, Tsao Cevoli, already expressed their rage at the current turn of events. We all agree that the damage is irreparable and that an important part of our Heritage is lost. Instead of lamenting the state of Pompei, though, we should turn our eyes to the about-to-collapse Collosseum. I am almost certain that the celebrated amphitheater may be next in line, since it faces similar problems with most of Pompeii&#8217;s buildings. So, is Berlusconi going to wait until we mourn the collapse of another Roman construction, or is he going to take positive action?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I received a desperate message from a friend who also happens to be an Italian Archaeologist working in Greece. According to the message, next week the Italian Parliament will approve of a law that will legalise the illegal ownership of antiquities. Effectively, if a pot or statue or coin has been found in the course of an illegal excavation and then sold to the market, the owner of the object will not face any legal consequences. On the other hand, it is obvious that the law will have dire consequences for antiquities in Greece or Turkey or Egypt or other such countries. The criminals who took part in illegal excavations, effectively, would become able to sell the ancient objects with the help of their Italian ‘colleagues’. Since, because of the stylistic similarities, they could claim that the antiquities came from Southern Italy (otherwise called Magna Grecia). Please consult the relevant facebook page on the subject here http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=131488480219070&#38;ref=ts Unfortunately, there is no English translation.]]></description>
