Brit who etched name into Rome's Colosseum begs Italy for forgiveness

A Brit who was caught vandalising ancient walls on the 2,000-year-old Colosseum in Rome has begged Italy to forgive him

Ivan Dimitrov, 27, from Bristol, was with his girlfriend Hayley Bracey, 33, when he scribbled their names into the wall. One furious tourist spotted him scrawling "Ivan and Hayley 23" using a set of keys and contacted the cops.

The pair were on a three week trip across Europe when they stopped in the Italian capital, reports the Mirror Online.
