Roma president pays fine and make apologies to mayor for his hilarious "fountain diving" celebration

AS Roma president James Pellotta has been fined by city of Rome authorities after celebrating his boys’ triumph over Barcelona in Champions Leagues quarter-finals. He has been spotted (and filmed as well) among the group of celebrating Roma fans at the night after game – American businessman made a hilarious leap into a fountain on the Piazza de Popolo to everyone’s pleasure.

Pallotta admitted he wasn’t surprised with the fine and payed €450 he’ve been asked. Also he made public apologies to Virginia Riggi, the Mayor of Rome and donated €230,000 to restoration of city’s landmark Fontana del Pantheon.

Roma (and Rome) must be proud of having him.
