Franco Malosso, a 69-year-old man from Vicenza, has been imprisoned for constructing a fake Roman amphitheater on the hills of Arcugnano, which he presented as an archaeological site. The structure, built without permits on an area of approximately 5,000 square meters, was marketed as a historical attraction with visits costing up to €40. It was falsely claimed to date back to the Neolithic period and include Greco-Roman artifacts. The site featured elements like columns made of concrete, statues made of plaster, and a recently dug water basin, all designed to appear ancient. Despite being exposed a decade ago and sentenced in 2021, Malosso was only recently sent to prison to serve a two-year sentence for building violations and art forgery.
