Another tourist has made a mockery of Rome's Trevi Fountain by filming herself going for a swim at the historic monument for social media. The woman has been labelled as 'disrespectful' after she was seen taking off her shoes before entering the water. While onlookers appeared visibly frustrated, it wasn't long before security staff came over in a rage and demanded she get out.
Footage taken by another tourist shows a guard pointing to the woman to remove herself from the water and shouting 'no' multiple times while waving his arms in a crossing motion. She was reportedly fined €500 ($587) by Rome's police for the stunt.
Despite the confrontation, the trespasser continued to smirk and later took to social media to show off her antics.
She later shared a video on TikTok doing laps in the water and recalled that police told her: 'Do you realise that you have just thrown yourself into the most famous monument in the world?' The woman said in the post that it was 'for that very reason' she had entered the fountain.
