Man carves love note into Colosseum in latest case of tourist misbehavior

A man was seen on video carving the name of his girlfriend into the walls of the Colosseum, drawing outrage from the Italian culture minister, who said the suspect should be identified and punished. Videos showing the man in the act have been going viral since last week, according to Italy’s ANA news agency. The unidentified tourist engraved “Ivan+Haley 23” onto the almost 2,000-year-old structure in Rome. He could face up to five years in prison and a fine of about $16,400, ANA reported.
