those crazy eye-talians...some guy, Graziano Cecchini, dumped a half million of those plastic colored balls that are in the ball pit at Chuckie Cheese down the Spanish Steps in Rome. he was protesting.
apparently, the "garbage officials" in Naples stopped cleaning like, 3 weeks ago due to lack of space in the dumps, and since then trash has just been collecting in the streets. in an artistic (this dude calls himself an artist, and i, for one, agree wholly) demostration of trash in the streets, he and some other folks dumped all these balls down the steps. they were all over the Piazza di Spagna and the majority ended up in the Barcaccia Fountain.
this guy also dyed a fountain red in October.
i don't know about you, but i think this is perhaps the awesomest protest EVER. no real harm done (they're plastic balls, for christ's sake), and some sorta message got out, ya know?
Banksy and Cecchini should get together and do something REALLY fabulous.
