The Italian government has approved a new law that provides for significant fines for those who damage cultural monuments and historical sites. According to Reuters, fines can reach up to 60 thousand euros for actions such as damage or destruction of cultural heritage. Previous fines ranged from 1,500 to 15 thousand euros. Now the Ministry of Culture has the opportunity to use the collected funds for the restoration and repair of damaged objects. This law is also known as the “eco-vandal law” and was proposed after numerous cases of vandalism by environmental activists and tourists across the country that damaged important cultural artifacts such as the Trevi Fountain, Palazzo Vecchio in Florence and La Scala opera house in Milan.
