The Trevi Fountain or Fontana di Trevi is known the world over as the fountain where Anita Ekberg cooled off in Fellini's La Dolce Vita.

Nowadays anybody caught in the fountain is liable to be arrested as happened to a group of English Supporters who decided it was a great place to have a swim (in March ). No one is allowed into the fountain even if you do it during the dead of night as one enterprising young Roman recently found out.

It seems this chap had been visiting the fountain every night in the early hours in order to collect the thousands of coins which are thrown into the fountain everyday

...he was later released and told not to do it again!
