Museums and archaeological sites reopen in Italy's yellow zones.

The Colosseum, the Roman Forum and the Palatine Hill reopen to the public on Monday 1 February after a closure of almost three months, as Italy relaxes its covid-19 restrictions in the Lazio region.

To celebrate the reopening of the Colosseum, closed since 6 November, there will be a special concert by the students of the Accademia di S. Cecilia in the arena of the ancient amphitheatre at 12.3o.

From 1 February, the Colosseum archaeological park will be open to visitors from Monday to Friday, from 10.30 until 16.30 (with last admission at 15.30).
