A tourist who was caught on video carving a love note into the wall of the Colosseum in Rome last month has written an apology letter, claiming he was unaware the nearly 2,000-year-old amphitheater was ancient.

defacing the wall of the Colosseum in Rome last month by carving a love note into it claims in a letter of apology that he was unaware the nearly 2,000-year-old amphitheater was ancient.

Though Dimitrov has not been publicly identified by Italian officials, the nation’s police, the Carabinieri, said on June 29 that they are investigating and that the suspect and his partner live in England. Dimitrov said there’s no “justification” for the"incivility, superficiality and levity" of his actions. He closed the letter saying he's"hoping" his apology will be accepted.

Tirelli described the defacing act was heinous “but not serious.” He said the letter was mailed Tuesday.
