sometimes we forget these things

Italy, 1998

Italy's antiquities, the remains of thousands of years of history, are literally strewn throughout the country. But perils like earthquakes, car fumes, vandals, and thieves have taken a heavy toll on these treasures, like this ancient wall outside Rome, stripped by looters of much of its decorative marble.

I think the sheep make this one.

How do you feel about these things and could anything be done about it?
