Artist says it with balls

FIVE hundred thousand brightly coloured plastic balls yesterday bounced down the Spanish Steps in Rome in a stunt by an anarchic artist.

The balls were sent cascading down the city’s famed Spanish Steps in the latest stunt orchestrated by the man who months ago dyed the Trevi Fountain red.

Graziano Cecchini, the man behind the Trevi Fountain stunt, and several others emptied bags full of red, green, yellow and blue balls down the 18th-century steps.
