Tourist who allegedly carved names into Rome’s Colosseum says he didn’t know the ‘antiquity of the monument’ | CNN

The tourist who was filmed apparently carving his name into a wall of Rome’s 2,000-year-old Colosseum late last month has sent a letter of apology to the local prosecutor’s office, his defense lawyer told CNN on Thursday.

“I admit with the deepest embarrassment that only after what regrettably happened, I learned of the antiquity of the monument,” the alleged perpetrator wrote in his letter to the prosecutor, his lawyer, Alexandro Maria Tirelli, told CNN. The tourist’s name is Ivan Dimitrov, his lawyer told CNN.

It’s a bold strategy Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for him.

For real tho who the fuck doesn’t know what the colosseum is?

No I was mocking the fool who carved it.

Of course carving one’s name into shit is older than the coliseum so maybe the people trying to prevent that are the ones dismissing history.

That’s kinda sorta how I feel about it. Kid is dumb, slap him with a fine. But the people who are very “rah rah throw him in prison” are intense. I understand that it’s a historically precious place from a bygone era, but I mean… The Romans themselves did this shit, maybe they’d be proud.
