Cinecitta Entertainment and Italy are pairing up to create a theme park that would be able to go up against that of Paris' new Euro Disney theme park. The park would go in the 650 acre area which Cinecitta already owns, and would include a replica of the Coliseum and would be historically accurate with its exhibits of life starting from life during the end of the Republic to the end of the Empire. The movie 'Gladiator' has donated much interest in tourism to Rome, and this will hopefully spike attraction even more as tourism was down about 5% last year. They are shooting for a completion date of 2013.
