It's Italy, they have quite a lot of stuff to look after and barely enough money to pay salaries these days. In fact, they should probably threaten to "pull an ISIS" and demolish something invaluable every once in a while, to see if the rest of the world cares enough to pay for it.

No need to threaten to destroy anything, we've been letting Pompei crumble down for a while already.

Yeah but that's not media-managed, it's just happening and that's it. It doesn't make waves.

Instead, what if we waited for a slow-news week and then go to a public forum and say "we're going to BLOW UP Pompei next month unless we get €1bn NOW". Of course we'd be vilified, but hey, it's not like we have many options left.
