Rome's lovers are covering the city's oldest bridge with padlocks and chains to declare their passion.
The Ponte Milvio, by the Olympic stadium, was built in 109BC and stands on a main route into the city. Couples testify to their everlasting love by writing their names on a padlock and then clipping it to one of the chains that are wrapped around two of the bridge's lamp-posts.
They then throw the keys into the Tiber.
A similar craze took hold in Florence last summer.
A team of metal cutters spent a week removing more than 5,000 locks from railings around a statue on the city's Ponte Vecchio.
