Rome, October 19, 2007 - The water of the Fountain of Trevi suddenly colored red. A show to say the least unusual that caught the attention of many tourists and flash as usual crowd at the foot of the famous monument. The cause? A colored substance, perhaps a painting, a liquid container shed with a ruby, a little after 16.30, by a stranger who then fled into the crowd of visitors. The place is now the municipal police intervened, while Acea technicians will check the amount and nature of damage to marble statues and the fountain. Meanwhile, expect the restorers. But the superintendent of the Municipal Cultural Heritage Rome, Eugenio La Rocca, who rushed to the spot, while it is out of balance: "I hope and believe that the damage could be relative."
THE CLAIM - Immediately the water coming down from the rock under Moses' and flows into the pond, where and 'immersed in the famous scene of Anita Ekberg La Dolce Vita, and' become red. An act of blatant symbolic accompanied by an equally bombastic claims. A box containing some leaflets was found in fact to the side of the monument: the Act on the sheets of color the water was claimed by "FTM Futurist Action 2007". "Today we born with a new violent conception of life and history - says the frantic message - which exalts the battle at the expense of peace and despises you leccaculodiartificiosipoteri, slaves of the global market.'' In the text there is' a clear reference to the futurist movement when we remember the birth in Paris in 1909, claiming ties with the time and stated the intention to be a leader and fight''against everything and all in a spirit of struggle and violence''sound''but also to make this company grigioborghese a triumph of color. "
STILL FEAR FOR THE MARBLES - After the discovery of the leaflets of the city police began collecting evidence : it seems that the author of the gesture was a man in his fifties, balding, who had a light jacket and a cap head. Now he is doing everything to find it. The fountain area has been cordoned off and all the tourists away. There is concern for the plight of marble, the monument because it uses water closed circuit so that it fell down at one point was colored in red paint. A unique spectacle for the many visitors who have flocked to see the statues glowing red before it was closed delivery.
"a splash of color TUMULERA VI '" - the flyer for further action, thirty lines long, there is also an attack on the Film Festival:''You just a red carpet - is written - us whole town red vermilion. The film festival is synthesized in 15 million of squandered €, € 2.5 million just to pay the bill in hotels, and called party. "And then the polemic against insecure and against" a society mercatocentrica. "But even against" usury, the commercialization of beauty, the falsity of the law, the provisional nature of life of workers, the uncertainty of tomorrow and for the freedom of peoples. "Across the slogan''A splash of color you tumulera.''And even a nod to the precariousness :''We are insecure, unemployed, elderly, sick, students, workers, here we come with vermilion to color your gray. " Finally, a sneer at the Rome Film: "Four courtesans, an old chanterelles and a Smurf. This is' the Film Rome.''
