The completion of the Museum of the Colosseum<\/strong> on the second level of the amphitheatre is a first step in rethinking of a broader guided use of the monument by following thematic routes through its various spaces open to visitors. The starting point will be at specific landmarks signposted on the spot with carefully designed and effective signage that identifies and enhances significant itineraries. The archaeological excavations, studies and research work in recent years, presented in exhibitions and issued in richly informative printed publications, have made it possible to increase and flesh out our knowledge of the amphitheatre in the course of its long life, understanding the ways it has been reused, and ideological interpretations of it and finally presenting them with ever greater completeness.<\/p>\n In the Museum\u2019s exhibition itinerary, the most notable works from the building and from the excavations inside it are organised so to reveal the salient features of the monument, through hypertextual and hypermedia presentations, while also explaining the reception of the Colosseum in the history of culture.<\/p>\n The starting point is the section on architecture, with the presence of parts representing the whole, with capitals and fragments of transennae<\/em> (barriers) and striking reconstructions of the vomitoria<\/em> (passages). At the same time the display evokes the power of the monument as a model of architecture over the centuries.<\/p>\n
