Colosseum director campaigning to stop concerts at Circus Maximus after Travis Scott gig
The director of the Colosseum in Rome is campaigning to stop concerts at the Circus Maximus after a performance by Travis Scott in June sparked fears of an earthquake.
Alfonsina Russo, director of the head of the Colosseum Archeological Park, said that the concerts put the ancient monument at risk.
“The Circus Maximus is a monument. It is not a stadium, not a concert hall,” she told Italian news service AGI.
Russo said that the vibrations from the concerts could damage the foundations of the Colosseum and the Circus Maximus. She also said that the large crowds that gather for concerts can damage the grass and other vegetation in the area.
Russo’s comments come after a performance by Travis Scott at the Circus Maximus on June 17. The concert drew a crowd of over 50,000 people and lasted for over two hours.
Some people who attended the concert reported feeling vibrations from the music. There were also reports of people being injured in the crowd.
Russo said that she is concerned that another concert at the Circus Maximus could have even worse consequences.
“We don’t want to wait for something to happen,” she said.
Russo has called on the Italian government to ban concerts at the Circus Maximus. She has also said that she is willing to work with the government to find a way to preserve the ancient monument while still allowing people to enjoy it.
It remains to be seen whether the Italian government will ban concerts at the Circus Maximus. However, Russo’s comments have sparked a debate about the future of concerts at the ancient monument.
Some people believe that the concerts are a valuable way to bring people together and to celebrate culture. Others believe that the concerts are too risky and that they could damage the ancient monument.
The debate is likely to continue in the coming months and years.
