  • ROME, ITALY - 20 JUNE 2017: A tourist thows a coin in the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy, on June 20th 2017.<br />
<br />
The warm weather has brought a menacing whiff of tourists behaving badly in Rome. On April 12, a man went skinny-dipping in the Trevi fountain resulting in a viral web video and a 500 euro fine.<br />
<br />
Virginia Raggi, the mayor of Rome and a national figurehead of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement,  issued an ordinance involving harsher fines for eating, drinking or sitting on the fountains, for washing animals or clothes in the fountain water or for throwing anything other than coins into the water of the Trevi Fountain, Bernini’s Four Fountains and 35 other city fountains of artistic or historic significance around the city.  “It is unacceptable that someone use them to go swimming or clean themselves, it’s an historic patrimony that we must safeguard,” Ms. Raggi said.

  • POMPEII, ITALY - 4 APRIL 2013: Teresa Elena Cinquantaquattro, superintendent of Pompeii since 2013, poses for a portrait by Porta Marina, at the entrance of the Pompeii archeological site, in Pompeii, Italy, on April 4th, 2013.<br />
<br />
In recent years, a series of collapses at the site have alarmed conservationists, who warn that the ancient Roman city is dangerously exposed to the elements ? and poorly served by the red tape, lack of strategic planning and limited personnel of the site's historically troubled management. <br />
<br />
Pompeii, along with Herculaneum, was buried under 4 to 6 meters (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. After its initial discovery in 1599, Pompeii was rediscovered as the result of intentional excavations in 1748 by the Spanish military engineer Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre.<br />
<br />
Pompeii is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.<br />

  • POMPEII, ITALY - 5 APRIL 2013:   Tourists relax in the Amphitheater (70 BC), one of the oldest and best preserved amphitheaters in existence which held over 20,000 spectators, in Pompeii, Italy, on April 5th, 2013.<br />
<br />
In recent years, a series of collapses at the site have alarmed conservationists, who warn that the ancient Roman city is dangerously exposed to the elements ? and poorly served by the red tape, lack of strategic planning and limited personnel of the site's historically troubled management. <br />
<br />
Pompeii, along with Herculaneum, was buried under 4 to 6 meters (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. After its initial discovery in 1599, Pompeii was rediscovered as the result of intentional excavations in 1748 by the Spanish military engineer Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre.<br />
<br />
Pompeii is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular tourist attractions of Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.<br />

<br />
In recent years, a series of collapses at the site have alarmed conservationists, who warn that the ancient Roman city is dangerously exposed to the elements ? and poorly served by the red tape, lack of strategic planning and limited personnel of the site's historically troubled management. <br />

Pompeii, along with Herculaneum, was buried under 4 to 6 meters (13 to 20 ft) of ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. After its initial discovery in 1599, Pompeii was rediscovered as the result of intentional excavations in 1748 by the Spanish military engineer Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre.<br />
