Dear friends and colleagues,

With this letter the Association of Italian Restorers asks everybody 
who has at heart the cultural and historical heritage to sign the 
petition "Save the Colosseum from the Commissionary Administration".
The Special Commissionary for archeology in Rome is about to entrust 
the Colosseum, likely to be the worlds most famous monument, together 
with other archeological monuments, to the completely unexpierenced 
hands of workers of the building and construction industry, instead of 
those of restorers and conservators, which for decades have cured and 
secured its survival.
It is of essential importance to gather the greatest amount of 
signatures possible, in order to prevent this from happening. Follow 
this link 
http://www.firmiamo.it/salviamo-il-colosseo
to get to the petition (have a look at the INSTRUCTIONS at the bottom 
of this mail as the interface is italian only).
We trust in your sensitivity and your responsibility to spent a small 
amount of your time to sign the petition and forward this mail to the 
major number of people possible.
A.R.I. Associazione Restauratori d'Italia
