Pompeii's tasteless taps spark online revolt


The picture was published by a user in the Facebook group 'Anima Vesuviana' last Thursday and shows an ugly plastic and steel tap stuffed into the mouth of the Fountain of Abundance in Pompeii.

The ancient fountain provides drinking water for the thousands of guests who visit the Unesco World Heritage site each year.

Over previous years, the fountain was tapped by a more elegant brass faucet, but this was recently changed during maintenance at the site and was clearly not to everybody's taste.
