A Swiss teenager is under investigation for defacing the Colosseum in Rome by carving the letter "N" into the ancient structure. The incident was captured on video by a local tour guide, who reported the act to the teenager's parents. This comes less than a month after another tourist defaced the Colosseum with initials. The outcome of the investigation is still unclear, but similar incidents have resulted in fines and potential prison time.
