The director of Rome’s Colosseum has called for an end to concerts at the nearby Circus Maximus, after a performance by US rapper Travis Scott sparked fears of an earthquake
Italy’s fire service confirmed to CNN that it received “hundreds of calls” from concerned residents who feared there had been an earthquake in the Italian capital. From about 10.30 p.m. local time, Romans also took to social media with comments like: “Anyone feel an earthquake?” But a Rome-based CNN reporter, who also experienced the shaking that evening, confirmed with local authorities that the phenomenon was not caused by nature.
It is not a stadium, not a concert hall,” she told Italian news service AGI. Her spokesperson later confirmed the comments to CNN. “These mega rock concerts put it at risk, including the Palatine Hill nearby,” she said. “Rock concerts should be held in stadiums so as not to endanger public safety.” The Circus Maximus, situated at the bottom of the Palatine Hill near the Colosseum, has become a popular concert venue in recent years.
