A horse pulling a tourist
carriage on Rome's centrally located via Condotti slipped on a
manhole and fell to the ground for a few minutes on Thursday,
after which the carriage driver led the horse away to the
Spanish Steps.
The incident was documented by a passerby who posted it to
Facebook.
Italy's National Entity for Animal Protection (ENPA) said the
same manhole has caused other horses to fall, and criticised
Rome's mayor for not removing the horse-drawn carriages from the
city's busy streets and into parks instead, as she had promised.
