Two tourists caught carving on Colosseum

(ANSA) - Rome, March 9 - Two tourists from California, ages 21 and 25, carved their initials on a second-floor western side brick wall of the Colosseum with a coin, and then took a selfie to record the moment for posterity last Friday.
    A tour guide spotted the act of vandalism and called police, who took the girls in for questioning and cited them for "aggravated damage to a building of historic or artistic interest". The girls were repentant and said they didn't realize it was such a serious thing, police told ANSA.
