The McDonald's in Frattocchie, Italy is built on an archaeological site and features three 2,000 yr. old skeletons in a glass-paneled floor.
When construction began, an ancient Roman road was found with 3 skeletons preserved alongside it.
It's mandated by law that any ruins of historical value have to be preserved and made available to the public, so McDonald’s put the road and skeletons under glass in the floor.
McDonald’s also devotes funds to preserving and protecting the road site.
People joke that the skeletons are waiting for the ice cream machine to be fixed.
“I once asked my friends if they’d ever held things that gave them a spooky sense of history.
Ancient pots with three-thousand-year-old thumbprints in the clay, said one.
Antique keys, another.
Clay pipes.
Dancing shoes from WWII.
Roman coins I found in a field.
Old bus tickets in second-hand books.
Everyone agreed that what these small things did was strangely intimate; they gave them the sense, as they picked them up and turned them in their fingers, of another person, an unknown person a long time ago, who had held that object in their hands.
You don’t know anything about them, but you feel the other person’s there, one friend told me.
It’s like all the years between you and them disappear.
Like you become them, somehow.”

idk if I've already said this but I think for John Wick 2 to work you need to think of Rome with some kinda mystical exotic lens that I simply don't have
Granted all that history is cool, but it'd be more accurate to the feeling of the city if they showed a Wind mobile store next to a roman column with vandalized plexiglass guardrails around it or something. And a traffic jam with yelling motorists and jaywalking.

Sono appena andata via dal Mc'Donalds Porta Venezia dopo esser domandata dal macaco africano dalla sicurezza se io ero li a ordinare. Gli ho urlato "probabilmente" e detto "perché sempre sono smessa dai africani che vogliono sapere cosa faccio qui?". E in portoghese ho urlato a tutti "macaco filho da puta, gente maldita" e mi sono uscita.
Ho soldi per ordinare la promozione del giorno - 6 nuggets per 2€ - e semplicimente il McDonald's non se ne frega di perseguitarmi e mi coagir.
