He didn't even seem to understand the gravity of his actions.
A vandal in Pompeii 'leaves' 5 carvings. The Carabinieri intervened after a report from the staff responsible for supervising the archaeological excavations of Pompeii, where a 37-year-old English tourist was caught using a sharp object, he had made 5 different carvings on one of the walls of the domus, at the entrance of the House of the Vestals.
On the upper part you can clearly read the carved letters 'JW LMW MW' while on the lower part of the wall was carved the date '07/08/24' and below the writing MYLAW.
The man, reported to the Public Prosecution at the Court of Torre Annunziata for damage to artistic heritage, later apologized, saying he had written his initials and those of his two daughters, to leave a sign of his visit to Pompeii.
He will have to pay a huge fine.
Various similar episodes have happened in the past at the Colosseum in Rome, in Pisa a woman had carved two hearts on one of the columns of the Leaning Tower and then there are the spray painted writings.
