__Tourist throws sculptures in the Vatican Museums to the ground, damages two ancient busts__
_The man allegedly said he wanted to talk to the Pope. After attempting to flee, he was stopped by the Vatican gendarmerie_
“Two sculptures were damaged inside the Vatican Museums in Rome. A foreign tourist allegedly threw two ancient busts resting on two shelves inside the Chiaramonti Museum to the ground. The incident occurred this morning. The tourist was stopped and taken to the police station for questioning. The investigation is still ongoing.
The man, who was agitated and allegedly said he wanted to talk to the Pope, was blocked by the Vatican gendarmerie after trying to escape. The Vatican inspectorate later intervened and is currently listening to the person stopped: he is said to be an American of Egyptian origin.”
Translated with Deepl.
Apparently the statues were minor artworks. Still pretty infuriating.
