Trevi Fountain's extraordinary popularity with tourists has led to it becoming almost permanently overcrowded. Now, Rome is considering a plan to put up a protective barrier.
Andrea Coia, president of the business committee of Rome's city council and a member of Italy's self-billed anti-establishment Five Star Movement, has put the proposal to the wider city council. He suggests a"protective barrier" that would"prohibit people sitting on the edge of the fountain.
Currently, the fountain sits slightly below the square. Visitors must climb down steps to reach it -- but they normally take up residence on the steps, or perch on the fountain's edge. He said that the measures would"safeguard one of the world's most beautiful places and assure a better experience for those who want to enjoy it."Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage, which would have to agree the plans, did not respond to a request for comment.
