Cagliari, the Roman amphitheater in decay: weeds, rubbish and the tents of the disbanded

To enter the realm of degradation, it is sufficient to overcome a thirty-centimetre-high wall. Weeds, broken bottles, old shoes, rickety drying racks and lots of rubbish.

Here is the Roman amphitheater , the most important monument of the city of Cagliari transformed into a monument to neglect, which has become the night meeting place for poor homeless outcasts. They have set up makeshift tents among the centuries -old pine trees, without water, electricity or essential services.

Everyone knows about that gate that allows access to the ruins, except the politicians. Indeed, to save the three euro entrance fee, there is a queue of tourists outside . To act as controllers just them, the last.
