Something you may not know: bathing or even putting feet in the city fountains is against the law, here in Italy ... If you look closely, these people are all tourists. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining at all, I'm just noticing it. The woman in blue and orange, crossing the street, looks Italian. The one standing out of the fountain, with sunglasses and an orange book, might look Italian. The blonde women and the little girl, taking a bath, look a bit too northern and too informal in their clothes to be just Italian people living in Milan on a working day, but I might be wrong. Each year, when it's hot, someone takes a bath in the fountains, and the news use to tell and show them: when they are discovered, usually they have to pay for this infringement. "La Dolce Vita" and Anita Ekberg are very far in time, now this rule exists because they think this is not good for our fountains, many of whitch are ancient and wonderful. And now, if you were taking this photo standing in the fountain water, just don't tell anybody ...
