Homeless Man Hilariously Makes a Living From Tourist Attraction | Tales From the Bottle
Genius or deranged? This man made a living from a fountain for over four decades completely unauthorised.
“The Trevi Fountain (Italian: Fontana di Trevi) is an 18th-century fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy, designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762 and several others. Standing 26.3 metres (86 ft) high and 49.15 metres (161.3 ft) wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world.”

Edit: there is a ticket and queue now? Has to be recent, I was there 4 years ago, lucky me I guess I could see it for frer

I love the idea that those euros go to charity. Pfffft! 😂 You know it just lines the pockets of these politicians who were upset their Porsche wasn't getting its tune-up paid for my the public.

Fucking typical of YouTube to delete my comment when I have not even finished writing about it
The exact same way and the reason why I was commenting is because youtube cuts off your videos before they're done. I would like to know what recommendation or what setting I have or what balls YouTube has to cut people's videos short. ONLY TO TURN AROUND AND RECOMMEND THEM TO ME FOR THE NEXT THREE DAMN WEEKS.
UNFORTUNATELY YOU WILL NOT GET MY DETAILED COMMENT ON THE EXACT DETAILS THAT WERE PROPER AND SIMPLY EXPLAINED FOR THE GENERAL PERSON. BUT THAT IS EVEN TOO MUCH FOR THE ALGOFUKMERITHM.
MAJOR COMMENT POINTS:
•QXIR GET A BLUE DOT OF NEW ACTIVITY AND I AM SHOWING THE LAST 5 MONTHS OF VIDEOS ALL AT ONCE.
THIS VIDEO IN PARTICULAR. THE AMOUNT OF HOOPS I HAD TO JUMP THROUGH AND MOUNTAINS I HAD TO CROSS JUST TO GET THE DAMN THING TO PLAY ONLY FOR IT TO SHUT OFF HALFWAY AND PROCEED WITH SOME STUPID FLOURY VIDEO.
I HATE YOUTUBE!!

hellish surveillance, needed to verify age
at least you can bypass it with mr reedus, or surprisingly with an email check which seems to 'just' use public data and 1984 ai to figure out your absolute online footprint

i saw the fountain in 2014 i believe… it's a shame they have queues an you have to pay now. i remember waiting a couple minutes and fighting my 8 year old body through a crowd to get to the front to throw a coin in hahahaha…. and then we walked past it in the evening and next to no one was there and it was a beautiful serene sight.
it's a shame but i understand

I'm sure all the new Italian doctors and engineers have cleaned it out now. This type of thing can only exist in high trust societies, of which we no longer have…

Qxir bro please let me just say that I really appreciate you. Your content has always been consistently brilliant and you’re one of the few creators who I would so gladly support more if I wasn’t a personally disabled full time unpaid carer for my partner, treading several feet below the financial waterline.
Words don’t buy food or pay bills, but they are sincere and I hope you can prize some value from them 🫡❤️

Did this video get shadow banned? It gave me a warning before the vid and it only has 90k views after 9 days.

They should have immortalised this enterprising chap in stone and added his statue to the fountain.

They should have just given him an amusing costume and made it official, with half the take going to charity. Demeaning? Perhaps – but considering the enterprise in purely economic terms, plenty of gawpers don’t really want to see the 17th century fountain, they just want to tick it off their tourism list. But people would actively look forward to seeing the Troll of Trevi Fountain. It might well have swung the decision of time strapped tourists looking at their guide book and deciding what to fit into their Roman holiday, especially tourists with kids. “But mummy, the art gallery sounds boooring – I want to see the troll!” Might’ve ended up a local institution. At that point we’ve got the prospect of setting up an Official Trevi Fountain Souvenir Stand nearby selling keychains and plush toys of the funny troll man. Oooh, ‘Take a photo with the Trevi Troll: Only 10 euros!”. That’s online marketing right there, not merely free but profitable. What else? Hmm… ‘Troll Burgers’? No wait, scratch that one. Still though, I’m now so enthused about this idea I think they should procure a new homeless guy and get this shit going immediately. All shall prosper.
