Trevi Fountain, start of controlled route: 80-day trial period, then permanent garrison

Rome: the “controlled route” experiment has officially started, with which the Pentastellata junta intends to stop behavior deemed not in keeping with the Trevi Fountain’s value. Controlling the flow of visitors will be associations of volunteers who will help the work of the city police. There will be controlled access points for visiting the monument, a visitor route, and a single exit point. Also imposed are prohibitions on pouring liquids and throwing objects into the fountain (other than the traditional coins), sitting, bivouacking, consuming food or drink, climbing or engaging in conduct that is not compatible with the natural purpose of the fountain, letting animals or clothing drink or wash. Penalties of 40 to 200 euros will be provided for violators. Prohibited, of course, from bathing in the fountain, drawing water and collecting coins (which are earmarked for charitable purposes).

The experiment will have a trial period of eighty days, after which Rome’s administration will decide whether to switch to the permanent garrison, which will be implemented after a call for bids. The controlled routes will be active every day, from 9 a.m. to midnight.
