In a separate 2024 case, a 37-year-old British tourist faced penalties after carving initials and the date onto Pompeii's House of the Vestals, with Italian fines now set between €15,000 and €60,000 for such damage.
The incident occurred in 2024, when the tourist was caught carving into the ancient structure. Italian authorities have since increased fines for vandalism at archaeological sites, ranging from €15,000 to €60,000. The suspect was reported to court for a crime against cultural heritage, with fines potentially reaching €3,000 in a separate 1994 case, according to Granada's local police.
