Restoration work is underway at Rome’s Colosseum after a Russian tourist carved a 25 centimetre high ‘K’ onto a wall of the amphitheatre.
The 42-year-old was given a whopping 20,000 euro fine and a four month suspended prison sentence after being caught red-handed.
It is hoped the penalty will deter future vandals after a number of incidents this year at the world-famous ancient site, which attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists.
