| Description | A group of wild boar strutting along a traffic-filled road in Rome has catapulted the issue of the Italian capital’s state of decay to the top of the debate ahead of mayoral elections.
Much to the bemusement of onlookers, about 13 boar, distinguished by their coarse hair, sturdy bodies and sharp tusks, walked among the traffic on Via Trionfale, a busy road in the northern suburb of Monte Mario.
The scene was captured on a video widely shared on social media, prompting jokes – it was suggested that Rome should introduce “wild boar lanes” instead of cycle lanes – but also exasperation among residents as they prepare to vote in the elections on 3 and 4 October.
Sightings of wild boar in Rome are nothing new: they are often spotted rummaging through piles of rubbish, usually on the outskirts of the city. But the animals are becoming more brazen. |
