    What really gets me is he carves their names into a structure and adds the date. The date was 23… As if 23 means anything to a structure that was built by people who were around in the actual year 23.

    The best part of this is that they signed their names and filmed it. Like, if you’re going to commit a crime, maybe don’t document it? idk

      Looks like it might not have been filmed the actual couple doing it, but by a bystander. They’re being told off for it, as the guy does it, too.

      Still, these people are culturally brain-dead, and unable to grasp the concept of respect.

    Every Italian grandmother should be allowed to line up and spank him, with a frying pan.

    Italy’s culture minister says a tourist who was filmed carving his and his girlfriend’s names into the Colosseum in Rome should be “identified and sanctioned”.

    If only he left behind some permanent evidence of his identity.

    Should’ve carved a penis. It’d be the same thing and the Roman’s would approve.

    Tbf, Italy (or rather Rome) did not take care of the Colosseum for the most part of its history. Heck, carving your name and/or a penis into it pretty much has a tradition now, and as much as I hate destruction of historical or cultural objects the Colosseum is probably one of the monuments where it hurts the least. That still doesn’t make it legally or morally right, but it’s not as bad as it could be.

    The guy who filmed it said they talked to a guard about it and they didn’t seem to give a fuck…

    So if the angry officials actually care they should probably be funding better guards and training for them.
