For anyone who wonders how this piece of news is reported by Italian (pro-government) media: a minor inconvenience for tourists who always complain for everything, plus they are vandals who damage our historical monuments. If I were a foreigner I would chose to go on vacation elsewhere, sincerely.

Very sorry to hear this. An industry’s greed for more profit has no limit, but the actual attractions and the infrastructure to serve it does. It needs to be sustainable, and globally appreciated history needs to be respected. Down to government to regulate industry and protect heritage. Sincerely , someone who has never been to Europe, let alone Italy. I’m happy with the countless hours of history docos I have access to. Tourists can really be the most entitled group. Maybe setting them adrift on their massive plastic floating malls (cruise ships) isn't so bad if they stay on them lol.
