Severo's Secret?
If you're curious about the condition of the place, timing matters more than people realize. The vegetation crews tend to come through in late spring and again in autumn, so by August the grass around the base gets tall enough to hide the lower frieze sections. I've found early morning in May or October is when the carvings read best, the low sun catches the relief work in a way midday never does. As for damage reporting, Italia Nostra's Rome chapter actually runs periodic cleanup days at lesser known sites, and they've included the Ninfeo area before. Worth checking their calendar if you want to do more than just look.
The Ninfeo is technically under the Soprintendenza Capitolina, same as most of the scattered monuments around the city, but the practical maintenance is pretty thin. There's a crew that comes through periodically to clear vegetation and check for structural issues, but day to day it's mostly volunteers from groups like Italia Nostra who report damage when they spot it. If you want to help, you can email the Soprintendenza directly and flag anything you noticed, they do actually log it.
honestly no idea who maintains it, maybe ask a groundskeeper if u see one
What are current tobacco prices for LM Blue or Chesterfield Blue?
tbh duty free at Riga is only worth it if you're buying cartons, single packs at the airport arent that much cheaper than teh tabaccai in Rome. also remember you can only bring a limited amount into the EU anyway so stockpiling has its limits
Chesterfield Blue usually runs around 5.50 to 6 euros a pack in Rome these days, though tabaccai prices are fixed by the state so it won't vary much shop to shop. Riga is generally cheaper for cigarettes but your layover time matters, if it's tight you might not have time to clear security and find a shop.
LM Blue in Rome is roughly the same ballpark, around 5.50 to 6 euros. One thing to keep in mind at Riga airport, the duty free selection isn't always great for specific brands like these, so if you're set on LM or Chesterfield you might strike out. I'd check what the actual duty free has before counting on it.
