An Australian tourist has caused outrage across Italy for riding a moped into the UNESCO world heritage site of Pompeii.
The 33 year old was arrested and apologised, claiming he didn’t know vehicles were not allowed.
However, he only got access because he entered through a service road reserved for maintenance vehicles.
He was stopped after about one mile but before reaching any ancient ruins.
He didn’t reach any original roads and ‘no artefacts were damaged ‘a spokesperson said.
“It is not accessible to the public so there was no danger for either visitors or for the archaeological heritage at any point,” police said.
The man was charged with unauthorised access.
The tourist was labelled a ‘barbarian’ by Italian media
