We have a propensity for sticking our feet in fountains in Roma. OK, that’s not a good habit; we started doing it in the Piazza Navonne where it seems the fountains are used for almost everything—kiddie pools, dog baths, homeless baths, etc. The lovely thing about the fountains in Roma is that they are spring-fed, so it can be incredibly refreshing to cool your feet in them on a blistering summer day. For the most part the police don’t seem to mind; we have had them drive past us, smile, and drive on during our foot-bathing episodes.

Except in the Piazza di Spagna. For some reason, they greatly frown on soaking your feet in this piazza.
