The Regione Lazio is giving serious consideration to a plan to create a new 400-acre garbage dump very close to Hadrian’s Villa, the World Heritage site near Tivoli, Italy.  A group of concerned scholars and cultural heritage professionals from North America and Europe has posted an online petition to express our strong opposition to the plan. In a few short days, we have gathered over 1,100 signatures. Below are listed some of the people who have already signed and whom you may know.
Articles are starting to appear in the Italian press about our petition, which is being cited with approval by the opposition forces in the battle. These include, among many others, the City of Tivoli and the Italian Ministry of Culture. CBS News has a nice segment about the story which you can view at: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-500202_162-57349208/stink-raised-over-landfill-at-ancient-rome-site/
The decision about this irresponsible plan will soon be made. Time is short. Please follow the link below and add your name to our petition:
