Popular spot: The Trevi Fountain is one of Rome's most famous attractions, but that means it's often busy and overcrowded.

A coin in the fountain: Throwing coins in the Trevi Fountain has become a tourist tradition.

Selfie skirmish: Most Trevi Fountain selfies -- like the one pictured here -- go smoothly. But last week tourists ended up in a selfie-based skirmish after they both tried to take a picture in the same spot.

Unexpected violence: The tourists pictured here are all smiles, but the ones involved in the incident last week had a verbal confrontation that turned physical, according to police.

Civil disobedience: Most tourists respect the rules and stay dry, but two people were recently fined for bathing in the fountain, which is not allowed.

Crowd control: Police patrol the fountain in order to monitor crowds and behavior.

Overtourism issue: Officials in Rome are considering limiting access to the fountain to try to control the issue of overtourism.

Safe selfie-taking: So if you're planning to visit the Trevi Fountain any time soon, definitely snap that selfie and enjoy the beauty -- just avoid getting into a brawl.
