Members of the Ultima Generazione (translated as Last Generation) poured what they said was vegetable charcoal into the fountain, at the bottom of the citys Spanish steps, shouting our country is dying. Police removed the activists from the water in front of a group of Romans and visitors. Ultima Generazione have organised several acts of civil disobedience in Italy and sprayed some works of art and blocked some highways.
