Access to the Trevi Fountain should be limited and controlled, Rome’s tourism pointman said in the wake of a social media video showing a man climbing onto the iconic monument and diving into its waters.

“The indecent spectacle at the Trevi Fountain the other night with the umpteenth tourist making fun of our city’s cultural and historical heritage and our rules is no longer tolerable,” said councillor Alessandro Onorato.

“This is pure barbarity, which we will not be silent about, and it is also very concerning that the people present clapped him. “Monuments must be respected and the State should help us make sure they are”.
