August 18, 2017: What better way to cool of in Rome’s stifling heat than a dip in world famous Trevi Fountain! It seems both tourists and locals — both referred to as “the new barbarians of Rome” have taken to cooling off in the fountain. Fines start at US $500 but are more for skinny-dippers. Police stand guard but difficult to monitor and catch with as many as 50,000 people in and around the Trevi Fountain area daily!
