The ancient Roman Colosseum is once again going to have a floor - a new, high-tech floor at the cost of $22 million.
Italy’s Culture Minister Dario Franceschini described the new project this week as “extraordinary,” meaning extremely good or impressive.
Franceschini said the floor will give tourists a clearer idea of how the
arena would have looked when gladiators fought to the death there. In ancient Rome, gladiators were people who fought against other people or animals for public entertainment.
Archaeologists – experts that deal with past human life and activities – removed the last floor to get a better idea about the area below the arena. The floor was never fully replaced.

Remains of nine Neanderthals discovered near Rome2021|01:02
Archeologists have discovered the remains of nine Neanderthals at a prehistoric site near Rome, Italy's culture ministry said on Saturday. Eight of the remains are dated to between 50,000 and 68,000 years ago, the ministry said in a statement. But the oldest is from much earlier - between 90,000 and 100,000 years ago. Neanderthals, the closest ancient relatives of humans, died out about 40,000 years ago. It is unclear what killed them off, though theories include an inability to adapt to climate change and increased competition from modern humans. The find occurred in Grotta Guattari, prehistoric caves that were discovered more than 80 years ago in a town around 50 miles south of the Italian capital. Taking into account previous discoveries, there are 11 individuals at the site. Animal remains have also been found, including aurochs - a large, extinct bovine.

ROME, Italy — Italian archaeologists have uncovered the fossilized remains of nine Neanderthals in a cave near Rome, shedding new light on how the Italian peninsula was populated and under what environmental conditions.
The Italian Culture Ministry announced the discovery Saturday, saying it confirmed that the Guattari Cave in San Felice Circeo was “one of the most significant places in the world for the history of Neanderthals.” A Neanderthal skull was discovered in the cave in 1939.

‘Whereabouts’: Jhumpa Lahiri is still asking what it means to belong, though not for immigrants

Dove mi trovo, her first novel in Italian, Jhumpa Lahiri spoke about her metamorphosis as a writer. “I used to look for an identity that could be sharp, acceptable, mine. But now the idea of a precise identity seems a trap.”
Five years earlier, Lahiri had surprised readers and friends alike by moving to Rome, led by an overriding desire to immerse herself in Italy, and more specifically, its language. In 2015, she published her first book in Italian,

Fossilised remains of Neanderthals which have been found in the Guattari Cave in San Felice Circeo, south of Rome.—AFP
ROME: The fossil remains of nine Neanderthal men have been found in a cave in Italy, the culture ministry announced on Saturday, a major discovery in the study of our ancient cousins.
All the individuals found in the Guattari Cave in San Felice Circeo, located on the coast between Rome and Naples, are believed to be adults, although one might have been a youth.
Eight of them date to between 50,000 and 68,000 years ago, while the oldest could be 90,000 or 100,000 years old, the ministry said in a statement.

The Neanderthal bones were discovered in a cave south of Rome
Archaeologists in Italy have discovered the remains of nine Neanderthals who may have been hunted by hyenas, in a prehistoric cave south-east of Rome.
The fossilized bones, which include skull fragments and broken jawbones, were found in the Guattari Cave in the coastal town San Felice Circeo.
Neanderthals, a close ancient cousin of Homo sapiens, are believed to have died out about 40,000 years ago.
However, small traces of their DNA still exist in modern humans.

An Italian judge murdered by the mafia in Sicily takes a step towards sainthood Sunday, almost three decades after being declared a martyr by pope John Paul II.
The beatification of Rosario Livatino will take place in the cathedral in Agrigento, the Sicilian town near where he was gunned down aged 38 on September 21, 1990.
In a preface to a new book about the judge, Pope Francis hailed him as a "righteous man who knew he did not deserve that unjust death".

Rafael Nadal admitted his 6-4, 6-4 loss to Germany’s Alexander Zverev in the Madrid Open quarter-finals on Friday was a “step back” but insisted there were plenty of positives as he plots his way to a 14th Roland Garros title.
Nadal has now fallen early in two clay-court Masters tournaments ahead of the Grand Slam in Paris, after going out in the Monte Carlo quarter-finals last month before winning in Barcelona.
Even in Barcelona, however, he needed to save a championship point to beat Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final. Nadal is hoping to clinch a 14th Roland Garros title and record-setting 21st major in the French capital next month. “I took steps forward, but when you go up a staircase, there are times when it happens that you take a step back, that’s what happened today,” said five-time Madrid champion Nadal.
