POMPEII, ITALY - NOVEMBER 14: Works in progress at Pompeii ruins on November 14, 2010 in Pompeii, Italy. Pompeii is a partially buried Roman town-city near modern Naples. The Schola Armatorum, a 2,000-year-old House of the Gladiators, collapsed November 6, 2010, exposing the perilous state of the historical city. The area was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1997. (Photo by Franco Origlia/Getty Images)
