Rome's Trevi Fountain Gets Dyed Red

Vandals dyed the Trevi fountain red in protest of some issue over the city's film festival.

Here's what the fountain usually looks like:

And, while we're talking about vacation photos from Italy, this guy makes a living doing "instant" tourist pictures, not with a Polaroid, but with a digital camera and a battery powered inkjet!

My guess is that this kind of thing is common there. Rome has lots of graffiti, much of it politically charged...

Neat!

You know a lot of what we know about the ancient Romans comes from their graffiti - a LOT of it - political!

Things change, things stay the same. :)
Thanks for sharing. :)

Trading satellites for substance
Let spectators pay their way
We'll invade the Trevi Fountain
Now that everyone must pay
Mama and babies mother tragedy
Babies mothers tragedy
