This was in due to be posted last week, but I just forgot to unwrap it from my drafts, so for those who missed the happening held in Rome, by Mad-hatter artist Graziano Cecchini who has struck again. He released 500,000 brightly colored plastic balls Wednesday from the top of the Spanish Steps in Rome.
The balls, similar to the ones you can jump into at a Chuck E. Cheese pizza parlor, “represented a lie told by a politician,” Cecchini told the Italian press.
The stunt cost Cecchini close to $30,000. Excited tourists grabbed the balls as artistic mementos, while Italian police proceeded to arrest Cecchini. Look for overpriced plastic balls on eBay.
He was the same public-art prankster who filled the Trevi Fountain in Rome with blood-red dye last October.
