In Italy, some innocent tourists continue to damage their cultural heritage.

According to local media such as La Repubblica on the 22nd (local time), a tourist man and woman from Germany were caught by the police while inscribed with coins on the stairs in front of the Trevi Fountain in Rome on the 19th.

They were immediately accused of damaging cultural heritage and were imposed a fine of 900 euros each with 450 euros, and about 1.26 million won in our money.

They are German and Slovak lovers who are known to have visited Italy for a summer vacation.

Completed in 1762, the Trevi Fountain is a Roman landmark that is considered a masterpiece of late Baroque style.

On his Twitter, Mayor of Rome, Virzinia Raj, warned that "we will stick to the principle of zero tolerance for those who defile or undermine Roman heritage."

In Italy last week, a photo of a female tourist taking a'selfie' over the ancient Roman ruins in Pompeii was posted on social media, and the police began an investigation.

Earlier this month, an Austrian man, who took pictures of a 200-year-old statue in a museum in northern Veneto, damaged some of it, and is said to have expressed his intention to pay for the restoration of the cultural property after the police follow up.
