Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
Ancient footprints are everywhere.
You can almost think that you’re seein’ double
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Those Bob Dylan lyrics are quite useful today to describe a guy who almost certainly was seeing double on the Spanish Steps. Anybody wondering exactly how hammered a human can get needs to look no further than Rome, where police have arrested a guy who tried driving his car down the historic steps.
The sweeping staircase, nearly 300 years old, is spectacular anytime, but it must have really seemed breathtaking, if a bit bumpy, to this guy, who took a wrong turn at the Trinita dei Monti church at the top of the staircase and made it pretty far down. Here’s the story:
