The voices in the corridor – as goes the saying here – have it that it’s possible that the lift/elevator at the Colosseum in Rome may well be out of service for most of July 2011.
This lift is of obvious benefit to various people, avoiding as it does the 5 flights of stairs leading up to the higher levels of the Colosseum, but it is apparently being temperamental and repairs are in hand. We’ve been told, unofficially, that this may mean no elevator service for the entire month of July. We’ll update this post with official news as soon as we’re able to.
