The numbers were high, and so was the temperature. Rome and Latium saw 19,131,268 tourists from January to June, which means a plus of 17.6 percent, generating a proud amount of entrance fees, to the tune of 36,220,370 euros – up 14.7%. The winner was the Colosseum as the most-visited place in Italy this year. The magic of the Colosseum and the Forum Romani – the most-visited archeologic zone in the world – witnessed increased entrance fee profits and over 7 million visitors so far this year, said Rome’s Minister of Culture. Whether it is the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan under the management of-Canadian Mr. James Bradburne, or the Uffizi in Florence with German Director Elke Schmid, they are all talking of a museum revolution which is topping all possible predictions.
