Man misleads tourists with fake Italian amphitheater for two years

The Italian authorities have uncovered and presented a case involving a fake site of an ancient Greek theater in the town of Arconano in northern Italy. The site was built and decorated in a way that made its falsehood difficult to detect by Maluso, who claimed to have discovered the archaeological site and was selling tours for fees of up to 46 euros. After a ten-year legal battle, Maluso was convicted of forgery, unauthorized construction, and destroying a protected natural area. He was sentenced to 28 months in prison and fined. Experts confirmed that the site was entirely fake, with the structures built there being modern and aimed at attracting visitors. Warnings were issued about the potential costs of demolishing the site. Meanwhile, the case highlighted how widespread forgery operations are in Italy’s archaeological areas.
