Italian fountain turns black as climate activists protest.

Climate activists in Italy poured a charcoal-based black liquid into Rome's famous Fountain of the Four Rivers to raise awareness about the future of humanity. The group, Ultima Generazione, has previously led protests at other Italian historical sites. Members of the group were arrested and are facing charges of defacing a public monument. Italy's Minister of Culture condemned the protest and called the group "eco-vandals."

Climate Activists Dye Rome's Landmark Fountain Black in Protest.

Climate activists from a group called Ultima Generazione poured a charcoal-based black liquid into the water of the Barcaccia fountain at the base of the Spanish Steps in central Rome to draw attention to the drought emergency. They are now in custody pending charges of defacing a public monument and entering a fountain. The same group has previously glued themselves to famous artworks and thrown paint on the Italian Senate façade.
