ITALY-TRADITION-TIBER-DIVING

Italian diver Marco Fois, 51, works in his truck food on December 16, 2014 in Rome. On New Year's day Marco Fois will perform his fifteenth dive in the Tiber river. The tradition of diving into the river on New Years Day, which was also captured in Paolo Sorrentinos movie The Great Beauty, dates back to 1946. It was started by an unemployed lifeguard who was trying to find work as a stunt man and decided to jump into the waters from the bridge to show his skills.
