A 56-year-old tourist was caught writing her name on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence. She faces imprisonment and a fine.

In Florence, a 56-year-old tourist was caught writing the initials of her name with a permanent marker on the wall to the left of the Benvenuto Cellini monument at the center of the Ponte Vecchio: the reckless act could cost her a year’s imprisonment and a 3,000-euro fine. The woman, who was walking on the Ponte Vecchio together with her daughter, was seen fiddling with the marker by traffic police.

At that moment, in fact, a Municipal Police patrol was on duty on the bridge, and it was therefore not difficult to stop the woman, who was reported for defacing the property.
