Tourist is fined R$3 for bathing in the Trevi Fountain

A New Zealand tourist residing in London, United Kingdom, was fined 500 euros (R$ 3) for bathing in the Trevi Fountain, one of the most famous monuments in Rome, the capital of Italy.

The episode occurred in the early hours of Saturday (22) to Sunday (23), when the municipal police caught three men trying to access the source with more than 260 years of history.

Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

Officers managed to stop two of them from entering the water, but a 30-year-old man managed to partially bathe.

In addition to the fine, the New Zealander was banned from approaching the Trevi Fountain, a monument inaugurated in 1762.

In addition to attracting millions of visitors every year, the fountain has been the setting for countless films, such as “La Dolce Vita” by Federico Fellini, with the classic scene of Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni bathing there. (HANDLE)
