Climate activists darken Trevi Fountain in protest against deadly floods.

TL;DR Summary
Climate activists from the "Ultima Generazione" group poured black vegetable charcoal into Rome's Trevi Fountain to demand an immediate stop to public subsidies for fossil fuels after deadly floods hit Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy. Floods in Emilia-Romagna have killed at least eight people, forced 10,000 people to evacuate, and left 50,000 people without electricity. The group's protest was condemned by Rome's mayor, who invited the activists to discuss the issues but didn't want monuments at risk.
