If you love Italy please love
Italian designer clothes because the Italian fashion industry is the only ones coming
up with the money to save and restore Italy.
We all should be proud to know that civilization even existed and lasted
so long ago when the buildings of Italy was constructed and with the craftsmanship
to last generations. It is estimated that Italy is home to 2/3rds the world’s
treasures. Right now the country is too poor to keep its historic ruins , churches
and monuments from crumbling down to dust from all the 20thcentury
chemicals they must try to stand up too. Italy is very much in debt. Taxes go
unpaid. Corruption in politics is everywhere. Someone needs to save Italy.!
The government is offering
nothing to save the countries treasures, a much more respected part of Italy is
stepping up to the plate. The fashion Industry. The greatest survivor of the
ancient world, The Colosseum that fit 50
thousand people in Rome, built by the hands of slaves in just ten years and was
finished so long ago that it was just 50 years after the Crucifixion of Jesus
Christ . Yes built in Biblical times. The people with the most power sat at the
bottom and the slaves and women, the people with the least power sat at the top
of the arena. This was done because the
men were afraid that their slaves would kill them and that their women would go
off with a Gladiator.
Watch the recent film called The
Gladiator starring Russell Crow to see the historical accuracy the filmmakers
took in the making of the film. In one part you see a lion rise up from a trap
door in the ground. The excavators have only recently uncovered the basements
of the structure to reveal places where there were wooden elevators propelled
by ropes and pulleys raised to the main floor. They found hallways, dungeons
for slaves and cages for animals. Currently 6 Million tourists visit Rome and
it’s architectural treasures each year.
They receive only 5% percent of
the money they need to control crowds and maintain the building. To prevent further
ruin, a benefactor is spending $35 Million dollars to restore the place . He is
Diego Della Valle a leather bag designer called Tod’s. Who would spend so much of their own money to
restore history? He would. His shoes and handbags are stitched by hand and his
restoration is also being done by hand and tiny brushes to remove centuries of
dirt off the structure. The Colosseum is made of limestone so only purified
water, no chemicals and elbow grease is being used in the restoration process.
The arches are going from murky brown to creamy white making the structure look
almost new.
Others have followed in his
footsteps and are restoring other places. The Fende Fashion House donated $3.5
Million dollars to restore the plumbing for the Trevi Mountains. Elsewhere in
Rome, the Bulgari Jewelry giant is
paying to clean and repair The Spanish Steps.
In Venice the 400 year old bridge over the Rialto Canal will be cleaned
and strengthened thanks to $7 Million dollars from Renzp Rosso creator of Diesel
Jeans. Without the generosity of these generous Billionaires, Italy would just
be another European country ravaged by unemployment, corruption and widespread
tax evasion. Thank You Italian Fashion
