Fewer Coins In The Fountain Italians Seek Answers
Italy's financial crisis means these days people are less likely to throw their coins into Rome's Trevi Fountain.
Many content themselves with simply posing instead. Popular legend has it that throwing a coin in the fountain guarantees you will one day return - but many are asking whether Italy is actually going anywhere in the first place.
"It is a problematic result but it is the choice of the Italian people so we are just going to have to make it work" said one man.
"We are really in a bad way, on an international level and domestically. We can never do again what we have done today. We just can't bring back Berlusconi." mused another, while for a third, all is "Confusion, just confusion".
As well as frustration from the Italian people, analysts are warning of a potentially negative reaction from the markets.

Three coins in a fountain
Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless
Three hearts in a fountain
Each heart longing for its home
There they lie in the fountain
Somewhere in the heart of Rome
Which one will the fountain bless
Which one will the fountain bless
Three coins in a fountain
Through the ripples how they shine
Just one wish will be granted
One heart will wear a Valentine
Make it mine, make it mine, make it mine
