The famous Spanish stairs, stretching from Piazza di Spagna – Spanish Square at their foot – is a real showcase of Rome.
According to local media, a vehicle driven by an 81-year-old driver entered part of the stairs. The FineStresullarte.info portal specifies that the car has rolled after a few degrees.
Fire brigades quickly arrived, which took up a delicate operation to remove the vehicle. It was crucial to be careful that this valuable monument was not damaged during the action. The authorities introduced a safety zone around the stairs, and pedestrians were prevented from access to the place of the incident during the service of the services.
The police questioned the driver and inspected his condition. The man did not require medical assistance and was sober at the time of the incident. However, the most surprising, he could not explain how the stairs took place.
It took several hours to remove the car from the monument, and the scenes from Tuesday morning will be subject to discussion among residents and tourists for a long time.
