VATICAN CITY- 26 JULY 2017: The Vatican decided to cut the water in this 17th century fountain by Gian Lorenzo Bernini in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City on July 26th 2017.
A severe drought and sweltering temperatures have led Rome city officials to consider a potential rationing of drinking water for eight hours a day for a million and a half Rome residents.
