Even if it wasn’t old, he had no right to damage the property. He’s probably done it countless of times.

He dresses in pastel blue? He deserves being extradited to Italy just for that.

Let’s credit his excuse: Fenway Park was built in 1912, and Allegiant Stadium opened in 2020. So it’s ok to vandalize the latter because it’s new, but not the former because it’s old? Or we can just stick with the explanation that’s he’s an impenetrably stupid and selfish ahole. I do hope they’re creature and throw the book at him

His “defense” is that he didn’t know the Coliseum was so old.That's the ONLY reason he carved his name into it. If it's just another 40-year-old Italian building, why bother? I hope they stick it to him.

Erase the carving and restore it if possible. Charge him for any costs. It’s not like the Coliseum is in pristine shape exactly. A good chunk of it is missing and the interior looks like the ruin it is. The sad thing is stuff like this leads security and sightseers being kept at a distance. That’s what happened after Michelangelo’s Pieta suffered a hammer attack by a loon.

He would not be allowed into the Vatican. He was wearing short pants.
Last I knew, the Vatican did not allow in people with the knees exposed or women’s shoulders.

Alexandre Dumbass. He also wrote The Count of Monte Cristo.
