The trouble with tourists: Italy braces itself for more unruly visitors following Spanish Steps damage
Not many electric scooter rides have made such international headlines. Then again, not many electric scooter rides take place on an eighteenth century globally-recognised landmark.
An American tourist in Rome has been banned from the city’s iconic Spanish Steps for life after she and a friend caused $26,000 (£20,000) worth of damage to them with an electric scooter.
The woman, a 28-year-old American tourist, reportedly hurled an electric scooter down the Spanish Steps in Rome. The incident was caught on camera by a passerby who was filming at the time.
