Climate activists in Rome turned the legendary Trevi Fountain waters black on Sunday (May 21) to protest against "government subsidies of fossil fuel" , as they say on their website. READ MORE: [ Ссылка ]
Holding banners reading "We won't pay for fossil (fuels)," members of the Ultima Generazione (Last Generation) poured what they said was vegetable 'charcoal' into the fountain, at the bottom of the city's Spanish steps, shouting "our country is dying".
The environmental group said the carbon liquid used for the protest did not damage the fountain.
But Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri said the clean-up would “cost time, effort and water, because this is a fountain which uses recirculating water”.
“We now have to empty it, and throw away 300,000 litres of water,” he said.
