     Italy
     It's seen beasts（野兽），battles and bloody executions，and now the world's most iconic arena（竞技场）is seeing...a floor.An architecture company has decided to restore the Colosseum's（斗兽场） floor to its former glory and allow visitors to admire the 1，950-year-old building from its centre，where gladiators（角斗士）once fought.Set for completion in 2023，the 32，300 square feet surface will be made up of narrow pieces of wood that can let light and air into the rooms beneath.
