The tragic incident took place on August 20, when Giovanna Maria Giomarino, an experienced tour guide, collapsed during a tour in temperatures of over 30 degrees Celsius. Efforts by tourists to revive her were unsuccessful. Her colleagues stressed that her death was a result of the difficult working conditions, calling for measures to protect guides from overheating. As a mark of respect, they suggested closing the Colosseum for the rest of the day.
