(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 21 - "Fortunately the first estimate is that there should be no permanent damage because the black paint is deposited all around the waterproofing material, not on the marble, and it should be possible to remove it without permanent damage. The risk is when it goes on the marble that is porous". This was said by the mayor of Rome Roberto Gualtieri, who rushed to the Trevi Fountain after the UltimaGenerazione blitz. He added: "Enough of these absurd attacks on our artistic heritage. Today smeared the Trevi Fountain. Expensive and complex restoration. I call on activists to compete on a terrain of confrontation without putting monuments at risk." (ANSA).
