Activists turn Trevi Fountain water black in climate protest

May 22 2023

The iconic Trevi Fountain in Rome, which sees many tourists visiting and tossing coins into the water, saw its water turn black following a climate protest.

Seven young activists from the ‘Ultima Generazione (Last Generation)’ protested climate change by jumping into the foundation holding placards saying ‘We won’t pay for fossil fuels’ and shouting ‘our country is dying.’

This prompted police to jump into the water themselves to escort the activists as tourists hurled insults at the protesters.

The group is calling for an end to public subsidies for fossil fuels, linking the protests to deadly floods which hit the northern region of Emilia-Romagna in recent days.

Despite the motives of the protestors, many public officials condemned the protest, with Rome’s mayor Roberto Gualtieri taking to Twitter to state: ‘Enough of these absurd attacks on our artistic heritage.’
