The American tourist was fined $450.

The 55-year-old man, who also had a beer in his hand, was reprimanded by the police in the early hours of September 3 near Fontana dei Catecummeni, in a small picturesque square in the Monti district.

Built by Battista Rusconi in 1589, the fountain is a popular place for people to gather at night, but it was closed on September 2 to prevent anyone from sitting on the steps.

The prohibition tape was reportedly removed and the man was unaware that he was about to commit an infraction when he sat down on the steps of the fountain at around XNUMX a.m.

According to the newspaper La Repubblica, he did not move when he was warned by the police, so they fined him in response to his disobedience.

The man said he didn't know he was violating a ban on eating, drinking and sitting at Rome's fountains, part of a string of rules introduced by then-mayor Virginia Ruggi in 2017 as she tried to restore decorum in the Italian capital.

The rule was among those updated based on a law first drafted in 1946 that included a ban on wheeled suitcases and buggies being dragged up historic stairs, bare-chested walking and swimming in fountains.

Restrictions even affected the Roman custom of hanging clothes to dry between neighboring buildings.

People have been banned from sitting on the Spanish Steps since 2018. In June, an American tourist was fined for driving an electric scooter over a UNESCO World Heritage Site, reportedly causing $24 in damages. Two weeks earlier, a visitor from Saudi Arabia had descended the stairs in a Maserati.
