Rome is set to introduce an entrance fee for the Trevi Fountain and five other sites, the Italian capital's mayor announced on Friday.


Rome to Introduce Entry Fee for Trevi Fountain 

A video of a woman who stepped into Rome's iconic tourist attraction, Trevi Fountain, to fill her water bottle has been doing rounds on social media and has taken the internet by storm.&nbsp;

Donning a blue shirt, and white pants, and sporting a baseball cap, the woman stunned the onlookers as she walked over a row of rocks with an empty plastic bottle and filled it up under one of the fountain's waterfalls.

The clip, which was filmed last month on July 18 by an onlooker Lex Jones, who witnessed the bizarre incident, shows how the woman casually makes her way out of the 18th-century landmark before a guard confronts her.

“There were signs all over saying that’s not allowed,” Jones told newswire Storyful. “I was just like, wow, this is crazy so I started videoing it.”&nbsp;

“The woman kept trying to explain her side to the guard and didn’t really understand why she was in trouble,” Storyful quoted Jones.

In another bizarre incident, a tourist, who was later identified as Ivan Dimitrov (27) from England, was seen carving his and his fiancee's names on the walls of the Colosseum using a key.

Dimitrov said that he was unaware of the antiquity of the ancient monument and then handed a letter of apology to Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri.

“Through these lines, I would like to address my heartfelt and honest apologies to the Italians and to the whole world for the damage caused to an asset which, in fact, is the heritage of all humanity,” he stated in the letter.

Italy’s Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano said, “I consider it very serious, unworthy and a sign of great incivility that a tourist defaces one of the most famous places in the world, a historical heritage (site) such as the Colosseum, to carve the name of his fiancée.”
