US Tourists Fined for Drinking Beer in Colosseum

The 25- and 29-year-old tourists have not been identified by local media, who reported they were discovered early on Monday morning in the famous monument. The alarm was raised by a passerby who saw two figures climbing the outside fence. When the police arrived, they found the tourists sitting on the second ring of the ancient amphitheatre. "We did not damage anything and we wanted the Colosseum all to ourselves," Leggo quoted them as telling police in broken Italian.
