seeing red...a lot of red

Over the weekend, a group of vandals claiming

to be neofuturists poured red dye into Trevi fountain.

As the fountain began to cycle the water through, it

soon spouted red water. They say the fountain is not

permanently damaged and that they marble statues

did not absorb any of the dye.

The vandals who took responsibility were

apparently protesting expenses incurred during

the Rome film festival - a nod to the red carpet.

They were insprired by the Futurist movement

of the early 20th century.

Makes for an interesting photo.
