New act of vandalism at the Colosseum: yesterday afternoon a 19-year-old tourist of Ukrainian origin carved his initials with a sharp object between the first ring and the atrium of the monument. The act was noticed by a woman who immediately alerted security and stopped the 19-year-old; officers from the Celio police station were then contacted. The perpetrator of the vandalism was reported and fined.

“Good the intervention of the police who stopped and sanctioned the author of the new act of vandalism to the damage of the Colosseum. In a city rich in treasures that are a world heritage site, there can certainly be no room for hooligans and idiots,” Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri commented in a note.
