Trevi Fountain red: after ten years Cecchini repeats the gesture

The Trevi Fountain is colored red again: it was Graziano Cecchini who made the gesture after ten years.

The man managed to avoid controls in the square and quickly spilled a red dye. Stopped by police, he was charged with interruption of a public service and defacement and will have to pay a fine of 500 euros for not complying with the ordinance for the protection of Rome’s monuments and fountains.

The action would be another performance by Cecchini: he would call it"Pacta servanda sunt." A gesture to awaken the city of Rome from its torpor and shout enough.

While the policemen were banning access to the fountain, numerous tourists were taking photos and selfies moved by the curiosity of this gesture.
