Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn perched there without a care in the 1953 film 'Roman Holiday.' But the Spanish Steps in Rome are now no longer a place for sitting.
The 137 steps built in the 1720s have long been a popular spot to people watch, hangout and pause for a breath. Rome's official tourism website describes the steps as a passageway"but even more so a place for meeting and a pleasant rest."
The city government said the law has been applied in full since its effective date, it wasn't until this week that police officers in yellow vests were deployed to the Spanish Steps to visibly enforce it. "This monument is so beautiful. There was a child sitting who was tired, sitting down with his father a few minutes ago, and the traffic officer asked them to stand up," Galletta said."If we have to follow the regulation, we have to follow it. We do not have a problem with that," said Jurgen Meier, a German tourist.Gregorio Borgia / AP
