Pay dearly if caught frolicking at Rome's magical 'Trevi fontana'
London [U.K.], June 13 (ANI): Municipal authorities in Rome are said to be imposing fines on locals and tourists indulging in unacceptable behaviour, in an attempt to protect their key monuments such as the Trevi fountain and the Colosseum, among others. With the summer setting in and temperatures soaring, tourists and locals around the Trevi fountain are being found sitting with their feet in the water and even going for a swim. With the new penalty in place, Mayor Virginia Raggi on Monday said anyone caught doing such malpractices can be fined upto 240 Euros, with a minimum fine of 40 Euros, reports the Guardian. The new rule, functional presently, will be valid until 31 October. The police have been assigned the task of monitoring compliance with the new proposal. Apart from the aforementioned landmark monuments, the rule has also been levied on the 500 year-old Barcaccia, a boat-shaped fountain at the foot of the Spanish Steps which was badly chipped by drunken football fans in 2015.

"Americans are paying the price": Virginia Governor

Spanberger began by focusing on rising costs, arguing that trade decisions have directly hurt households and small businesses. "And I know these same conversations are being had all across this country. Because since this president took office last year, his reckless trade policies have forced American families to pay more than $1,700 dollars each in tariff costs. Small businesses have suffered. Farmers have suffered, some losing entire markets. Everyday Americans are paying the price. And even though the Supreme Court struck these tariffs down four days ago, the damage to us, the American people, has already been done."
