Trevi Fountain clean-up
Print Edition
Visitors to Rome’s Trevi Fountain were on their best behavior as the city started testing out a plan to clamp down on tourists dipping their feet into the basin of the centuries-old landmark.
A public outcry over inappropriate behavior at the Italian capital’s monuments prompted the mayor to decree in June that anyone caught paddling in fountains or picnicking on their pedestals could be fined up to 240 euros (US$280).
Volunteers in police uniform patrolled the crowd around the basin, which surrounds the stone rendering of Tritons guiding the shell chariot of water god Oceanus.
Italy’s culture minister has suggested crowds should be limited at some of Italy’s heritage sites, which include the entire historic centers of some cities including Rome.
