An American in Rome

A 22-year-old American man was arrested on Sunday after an early morning naked bath in the historic Barcaccia fountain at the foot of Rome's Spanish Steps, an Italian news agency reported.

The man stripped and bathed in the 17th century Baroque fountain in front of a crowd of tourists, before being led away by police, AGI news agency said.

He faces charges of committing an obscene act, it said.

The incident comes less than two weeks after a drunken man was arrested for driving his car down the steps that spiral down to the fountain, one of Rome's most popular tourist attractions.

  1. All these odd happenings around the fountain may be sign that we are progressing towards something supernatural, like the second coming or whatever. Alternatively...

  2. I think it may have something to do with a story I'm just going to look up about drunkenness in Rome .
