The ugly American

I don't think that this is a good way to endear yourself to the locals:
A 22-year-old American man was arrested on Sunday after an early morning naked bath in the historic Barcaccia fountain at the foot of Rome's Spanish Steps, an Italian news agency reported.

The man stripped and bathed in the 17th century Baroque fountain in front of a crowd of tourists, before being led away by police, AGI news agency said.

He faces charges of committing an obscene act, it said.
The article doesn't mention it, but I'm guessing that the vino had something to do with this. And lots of it.
