In this photo released by the local "Sovrintendenza" archeological excavation authorities in Pompeii, near Naples southern Italy, a column is seen in pieces on the ground, at a closed site in Pompeii, Wednesday March 21, 2007. The huge column in the garden of an ancient Roman villa at Pompeii was toppled in what officials said Wednesday was an act of vandalism. "This isn't a simple act of vandalism, which, while bad enough, could be explained by ignorance," superintendent Giovanni Guzzo said, calling it "an act of intimidation."
