Rome bans swimming in its iconic fountains
The Italian city of Rome has banned people from swimming in its iconic fountains, with a fine of up to â¬240 (â¹17,000) on violators. It has banned picnicking on fountains' steps, with Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi saying, "We need to protect our city." Locals were angered when a tourist was filmed skinny-dipping at the 17th-century Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi fountain.
