Climate Activists Darken Rome's Trevi Fountain in Protest.

Climate activists from Ultima Generazione turned the Trevi Fountain in Rome black with diluted charcoal to protest against the Italian government's lack of action on climate change. The group has previously targeted other famous fountains in the city. All activists were arrested and face vandalism charges. The Rome Mayor and local officials condemned the act, stating that it will cost time, effort, and water to restore the fountain. The Italian government has been criticized for not being prepared for climate change in the wake of the deadly flooding in northern Italy.
