Sitting on the staircase at Rome’s Spanish Steps has been banned. The move is reportedly part of the raft of strict new regulations to the city’s local police.

n 2015 the steps underwent a €1.5-million restoration, funded by luxury jeweller Bulgari. The baroque-style stairway, which comprises 136 travertine steps, connects Piazza di Spagna with the Trinità dei Monti church above.
