Scandal in Rome

Because of Vance's possible visit, the attraction was closed and hundreds of tourists were disappointed that they would not be able to enter the Colosseum.

The travel company Codacons said that the unplanned closure of the Colosseum was a serious disrespect to the many tourists who had purchased tickets and queued to visit the cultural attraction.

Representatives of the company said they would first file a complaint with the Capitol's judicial authorities, asking them to open an investigation into the case.
