British dad admits scratching his and his children’s initials on Pompeii wall
A British tourist has defaced a famous site at Pompeii, by carving his and his children’s initials into the ancient wall.
The unnamed man, 37, was caught while carving into the Domus of the Vestals, a UNCESCO World Heritage Site.
The man even inscribed the date before he was caught and reported to the Public Prosecutor’s Office at the Court of Torre Annunziata for damage to the artistic heritage, Secolo d’Italia reported.
The man apologised and said the engravings were to ‘leave a sign of his visit’.
