Tourist Goes Totally Crazy At Vatican, DESTROYS 2,000yr Old Statue….

A 50-year-old American tourist lost his marbles and hurled two ancient statues to the ground, all because they denied him an audience with the Pope. The episode happened around lunchtime in the Museo Chiaramonti, part of the Vatican Museums. That museum holds about 1,000 works of ancient statuary and describes itself as “one of the finest collections of Roman portraits” in the world.

The art that this man trashed was reportedly 2000 years old. Angry and acting like a spoiled rotten toddler, the FIFTY-YEAR-OLD man allegedly hurled one Roman bust to the floor, and then, as he ran off, with staff chasing him, he knocked down another bust that went crashing to the floor.
“The busts were affixed to shelves with a nail, but if you pull them down with force, they will come off,” officials explained.
“He pulled down one and then the other, and the guards came immediately and stopped him and consigned him to the Vatican police who brought him in for questioning. Around 5:30 p.m. he was handed over to the Italian authorities.

“The 2 busts have been damaged but not particularly badly. One lost part of a nose and an ear, the head of the other came off the pedestal,” Vatican officials reported.

Officials say that restoration work has already begun and that “they will soon be restored and back at the Museum.”

Religious News reported:

An American tourist hurled two ancient Roman busts to the floor in the Vatican Museums on Wednesday (Oct. 5) after being refused an audience with Pope Francis.

“The person who pulled down the statues has been arrested by the gendarmes and handed over to Italian authorities,” Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni told reporters afterward.

According to local reports, the unidentified tourist was visiting the Chiaramonti Gallery at the Vatican Museums, which holds one of the world’s largest collections of Roman marble portraits, when he asked to meet the pope.

After being denied, the visitor threw two marble busts to the ground before being stopped by a tour guide and then by the security personnel. A tour guide posted a picture of the event on Facebook.

Rome has been subjected to several acts of vandalism in recent months. In June, an American couple threw their electric scooters down the famed 18th-century Spanish Steps, causing damage estimated at 25,000 euros, according to the Italian daily La Repubblica. That same month, a Saudi Arabian tourist wrecked the famous site by accidentally driving his Maserati down the Spanish Steps.

What a self-centered jerk!

As if HIS “private audience” with the pope is so important that he throws a hissy fit, trying to destroy 2000-year-old works of art.

I’ll tell you what, if this guy wanted an audience so badly, he could have gone through the process of securing one before he left for his trip, not “demanding” one the day he got there like he’s some kind of Sultan or something.

When they talk about “ugly Americans,” this is what they mean.
