Colosseum Denies Reports of Tourist Injured on Its Grounds
SHARE

The Colosseum in Rome has recently been at the center of controversy following reports of a man being injured on the grounds of the ancient amphitheater. However, the Colosseum Archaeological Park has vehemently denied these reports, labeling them as “fake news.” According to Italian newspaper Il Messaggero, a 47-year-old United States citizen and resident of Taiwan allegedly attempted to climb a metal fence in the Piazza del Colosseo, resulting in a metal spike piercing his back. The man was said to be in a painful and dramatic position until paramedics arrived and freed him after 20 minutes.

Despite the widespread media coverage of the incident, a spokesperson for the Colosseum Archaeological Park has refuted these claims, stating that no such incident took place on the site. The spokesperson mentioned that an investigation by the Italian police force is currently ongoing, but no further details can be provided at this time. They also clarified that the fence in question was being monitored by numerous staff members during the reported time of the accident, and no tourist had attempted to climb it.

In light of this incident, Rome has faced challenges in managing tourist behavior, with instances of visitors engaging in inappropriate activities at cultural sites. Italian cultural officials have been considering measures such as imposing fees and limiting access to popular destinations like the Trevi Fountain, Venice, and Pompeii. Tourists have been known to partake in disrespectful behavior, such as drinking from the Trevi Fountain and defacing historical landmarks like the Colosseum.

As the situation continues to unfold, Hyperallergic has reached out to relevant authorities for further information. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting cultural heritage sites and adhering to rules and regulations when visiting these iconic locations.
