A view of the underground ancient Domus Aurea site (Golden House), the opulent villa built by Roman emperor Nero, on October 24, 2014 in Rome, Italy. The golden palace that the Emperor Nero built as a monument to himself after half of ancient Rome was consumed by fire is reopening to the public even though its renovation isn't finished yet. The main palace of the 'Domus Aurea' or 'Golden House' complex, which once included an artificial lake where the Colosseum now stands, was closed in 2005 for emergency repairs and briefly reopened in 2007 before closing again. The visits will take place on weekends so that archaeologists and restorers can continue to work on the four-year project, which will open new areas of the monument. Visitors can tour the work site and learn about techniques used in the restoration, which can be followed online. Caring for thousands of years worth of decaying art and architecture is a perennial problem in Italy. The Domus Aurea is particularly hard to maintain because the later emperor Trajan filled it with rubble and built his own baths on top. In December 2005, Italy's then-culture minister said water leaking into the 12-metre-high underground chambers could cause parts of the structure to collapse, and closed it to visitors, who had previously numbered around 1, 000 a day. Italy has ploughed 18 million euros into strengthening the buried monument since 2006. As people strolled in the gardens above, below ground, dozens of people continued the restorations. The Domus Aurea, so named because of the gold leaf covering some of its walls, was said to have contained a 36 metre statue of Nero. It was rediscovered in the 15th century. Renaissance painters including Raphael and Michelangelo lowered themselves on ropes through holes in the ceiling to study the palace's frescoes, which are now at risk from humidity levels that reach 90 percent. Included in the renovation project is an ambitious plan to reduce by more than two-thirds the weight of th
