A woman’s impromptu summer swim in Rome’s Trevi Fountain ended in handcuffs. However, the splashing around in the fountain did not lead to her arrest – but that she punched a police officer and then kicked a police officer…
The woman stepped into the basin of the Trevi Fountain on Saturday night — mind you, dressed. When a police officer followed her into the water and told her to leave the well, she lunged at the security officer and punched him. When the woman was finally pulled out of the pit, she panicked and kicked a female security guard. The policewoman fell to the ground.
Arrested for resisting the police
Videos of the incident are already circulating on the internet. The rabid woman was arrested for resisting police, but her identity is unknown.
Swimming pleasure leads to high fines
The fountain, made world famous by Anita Ekberg’s night bath in the movie classic “La Dolce Vita”, is used time and again for self-portraits. The city is trying to protect the attraction against bathers with high fines. With three million visitors a year, the fountain is one of the most popular monuments in the world.
Activists poured black paint into wells
Two weeks ago, members of the Italian climate protection group Ultima Generazione (Last Generation) poured a black liquid made from diluted biochar into the Trevi Fountain. The group of about ten people entered the basin of the world-famous fountain holding a banner reading “We will not pay for fossil fuels” – a nod to the campaign to eliminate fossil fuel subsidies. “Our country is dying,” cried the activists, who were insulted and insulted by tourists and passersby before local police intervened.
