2 US tourists face trial for damaging Colosseum

ROME (AP) — Two American tourists have been ordered to appear in court for carving their names into the Colosseum, the latest act of vandalism sustained by the ancient monument at the hands of tourists.

Carabinieri Captain Lorenzo Iacobone said Monday two tourists from California, ages 21 and 25, were picked up Saturday for carving their names eight centimeters (three inches) high into an upper level of the Colosseum. They were freed later but will face trial for aggravated damage to a monument.

I firmly believe that anyone who damages or causes damages to anything so irreplaceable as that should face the death penalty. Quit being so soft on these criminals then maybe we will live in a crime free society.
