Police in Italy are looking for two English-speaking tourists who stripped off in an historic fountain in Rome.
The men were filmed messing around in their underwear in the fountain in Piazza Venezia and one pulled down his pants and posed for photographs.
The video footage, published on a blog in Rome, has sparked outrage, with Italy’s deputy prime minister calling the men idiots.
The fountain honours the first king of Italy after the country’s unification and also holds the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
Local police said the incident, which happened on Sunday, was illegal and offensive and say they are now trying to find the two men.
Matteo Salvini, the country’s deputy prime minister, tweeted: "I will know how to educate these idiots if they are caught. Italy is not their home bathroom."
Rome’s deputy mayor Luca Bergamo said the men’s behaviour shows an ignorance and lack of respect for the history of Rome and Italy.
"Once identified by the local police, who is actively working to track them down, they will get the maximum punishment possible," he said.
