In this context, the mayor of Pompeii, Karimi Lou Sabio, said: "Pompeii is the best site to host the global match between Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Based on my contacts with the relevant authorities, I believe that the choice will fall on Pompeii. I am optimistic about that."
In turn, the president of the southern province of Kalluriyya offered to host the event in his land as well, saying: "It will be a nice opportunity and an alternative to the usual options to restore the memories of the oldest civilizations dating back thousands of years, organize a charitable event, and promote our region at the same time."
Other performances included a Roman amphitheater on the outskirts of Rome, and another scenic amphitheater in Tobrumene, Sicily. And the mayor of Florence had previously stated that he was "ready to organize a contest between ideas and future visions, in Piazza della Signoria," and described the contest as being similar to a contest in painting between Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo in 1504, according to the British newspaper.
The Colosseum in Rome was one of the possible destinations to host the fight, after Musk tweeted that "there is a possibility" to hold the event there. But an Italian Ministry of Culture official told The Telegraph that they had not received any communication from either party.
Musk then provoked his counterpart, Zuckerberg, when he claimed that he had reached an agreement on the details with the Italian Prime Minister and Minister of Culture, in order to hold the fight in an “epic site.” Zuckerberg replied, “If Elon is serious about setting a real date and holding an official event, he knows.” "How to communicate with me. Otherwise, I'll think it's time to move on. I'll focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously."
