Иван, който надраска Колизеума, не знаел колко древен е паметникът
Ivan Dimitrov, 27, who scrawled his name and that of his girlfriend on the wall of the Roman Colosseum, was "unaware of the antiquity of the monument". His statement, containing an apology and sent to the authorities in Rome, was quoted by the Italian newspaper Messaggero. "Realising the gravity of the crime, with these lines I would like to offer my most sincere and honest apologies to the Italians and to the whole world for the damage caused to the cultural heritage, which is the heritage of all humanity," Ivan Dimitrov's letter said. In it, he adds that he did not know how ancient a monument the Roman Coliseum was, which, however, Messaggero questions.
