Scar on the wall of a Roman domus discovered during the excavations at Herculaneum. The perpetrator is a Dutch tourist who was immediately identified by security personnel and reported to the carabinieri. While on vacation in Campania, the 27-year-old decided to make a lasting impression by leaving a mark on the ancient stuccoes of a house that had been torn from the ashes of Vesuvius. He signed with an indelible black marker. The young man will have to answer for damaging and defacing works of art.
