    It is described as one of the most sophisticated and impressive houses in Pompeii at the time of Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 AD.

    Security staff at the archaeological park noticed him fiddling with a frescoed wall at the house entrance.

    After confirming he had made five carvings, they alerted the carabinieri, who apprehended him at the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

    He reportedly apologized to the authorities and said he had made the carvings to leave a record of his visit.
