Rome's Colosseum Reopens Underground Passages

(Rome) -- Tourists can once again walk through the heart of the Colosseum in Rome.  

After putting in more than 30-million dollars of work, Italy has reopened the staging area where gladiators and animals awaited their fights to visitors.  

The two-thousand-year-old amphitheater is Italy's top tourist attraction.  

It took two years to make the repairs needed for the tunnels to be fixed so they could reopen Friday.
