Trevi Fountain is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome. In 1730 Pope Clement XII commissioned Nicola Salvi who began work on the fountain in 1732. After Salvis’s death, the fountain was completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762. On October 18, 2007, 54 year old artist and active member of the extreme-right Roman political community Graziano Cecchini poured a bottle of red dye into the 18th century Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy. Nearby the fountain, were leaflets signed “Ftm Futurist Action 2007” which claimed responsibility for the act. Cecchini said that the red paint was a reference to the Rome Film Festival’s red carpet, and was a protest against the exorbitant cost of the festival.
