 ROME — Rome's Spanish Steps are set to be unveiled to much fanfare Thursday after a year-long refurbishment that returned the stairway to its original splendor.

 But one of the main figures paying for the $1.7 million project is ruffling feathers by suggesting officials keep "barbarians" from getting too close to the iconic tourist site. 
  
 Built in 1725, the stairway was immortalized by Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck in the movie "Roman Holiday." 
  
 Millions of people have sat on them to eat, drink and smoke while canoodling and enjoying the view over Via Condotti, the Italian capital's most exclusive fashion street. But that left behind a coating of filth that slowly darkened the once shiny marble. 
  
 Paolo Bulgari, the chairman of the luxury jewelry house and nephew of its founder, wants to make sure that doesn't happen again. 
  
 "Restorers have done a great and difficult job. The steps were coated with anything from coffee, wine, chewing gum," he told the Italian daily La Repubblica earlier this month. 
  
 "But now I am worried. If we don't set strict rules, the steps will go back to being used as a camping site for barbarians," the billionaire reportedly said, adding that a gate or a Plexiglas barrier "doesn't seem like an impossible task."

 What Bulgari says matters because his company paid for the restoration as part of a government tax break plan. He has also suggested erecting a fence to prevent people from hanging around on the tourist hot spot at night. 
  
 A temporary fence erected during the restoration prevents people from walking up and down the Spanish Steps until the official reopening, which was rescheduled from Wednesday to Thursday due to poor weather. 
  
 “ At night the steps are often full of drunks and people partying” 
  
 Italy's Culture Ministry declined to comment on whether a more permanent barrier would replace it, saying it would answer questions at this week's event. 
  
 Tourists visiting the site told NBC News they understood Bulgari's worries but disagreed with his solution. 
  
 "He calls them barbarians, I call them slobs," Lynn Godfrey, 73, from New Jersey. "You wouldn't litter your house floor with food, why would you do that in such a beautiful place?" 
  
 She added: "They should just add more guards and signs telling people it's prohibited to drink and eat on the steps."

 Mario, a local policeman who has patrolled the monument for years, agreed a fence was unnecessary. 
  
 "It's true, at night the steps are often full of drunks and people partying, but we only guard the monument until midnight, and then come back at 7 a.m.," he said. "We should have overnight guards, [surveillance cameras] and signs warning people that they shouldn't drink or eat on the steps." 
  
 Another tourist, Tom Dabrowski, 63, also from New Jersey, told NBC News: "They are steps, at the end of the day, and they should be used as such at all times — even at night. It's part of the experience." 
  
 Bulgari's idea was also met with skepticism within the company itself. 
  
 "As with every monument there is always the risk of vandalism and lack of respect," Bulgari CEO Jean-Christophe Babin told Italian media after its chairman's proposal. "I have faith that the local administration will be able to preserve the stairway after the restoration."

 The Spanish Steps are only the latest restoration of Rome's monuments and landmarks funded by Italy's famous fashion houses in exchange for tax breaks. 
  
 Luxury shoemaker Tod's paid 25 million euros ($28 million) for the five-year cleanup of the Colosseum's exterior facade, which had been blackened by decades of pollution. Until recently, cars drove around the monument like a glorified intersection. 
  
 Fashion house Fendi paid 2 million euro ($2.2 million) for the cleaning and restoration of the Trevi Fountain as well as three others in the city. ||||| They have been firmly on the tourist map ever since Gregory Peck engineered a meeting with Audrey Hepburn in the romantic comedy Roman Holiday, but there are now calls to reduce access to the Spanish Steps in Rome following a year-long restoration. 
  
 Bulgari, the jewellery company, donated 1.5 million euros for the famous monument to be cleaned and restored, with cracked paving stones repaired and unsightly stains removed. 
  
 The grand reopening of the Steps will be celebrated later this month with fireworks and a concert. The head of the luxury brand has called for a permanent fence to be built at the top and bottom of the travertine and marble staircase and for it to be locked every night to block access to “barbarian” hordes of tourists. 
  
 Paolo Bulgari, the chairman of the eponymous jewellery company and the great-grandson of its founder, fears that the now-pristine Steps will be trashed once again if tourists are allowed to loll around at night, leaving bottles of wine and beer, dropping cigarette butts and writing their initials with marker pens. 
  
 The sweeping steps, known in Italian as La Scalinata di Trinita dei Monti, were built between 1723 and 1726 and connect Piazza di Spagna with the Church of Trinita dei Monti. |||||
Output:
Audrey Hepburn ate gelato on the Spanish Steps in Roman Holiday, which makes her one of the "barbarians"—the residents and tourists who've ruined the famous landmark over the years, per the billionaire benefactor who's paying for its makeover, NBC News reports. The steps, built nearly 300 years ago, are set to reopen this week after a $1.7 million, yearlong restoration, and Paolo Bulgari, who chairs the luxury jewelry company of the same name, offered the funds for the project in exchange for a government tax break. But visitors hanging out with their food, drink, and cigarettes have dirtied the steps, and Bulgari is dead set against that happening again, so he's suggesting a fence or see-through barrier be erected. "If we don't set strict rules, the steps will go back to being used as a camping site for barbarians," he told La Repubblica earlier in September. Some agree with Bulgari, including one local business owner who tells the Telegraph that the "Spanish Steps are part of the whole world's heritage" and that a "non-invasive barrier" wouldn't be a terrible idea. A New Jersey tourist adds to NBC: "You wouldn't litter your house floor with food, why would you do that in such a beautiful place?" But others say congregating on the steps is part of the Rome experience and that there are better compromises that can be worked out, including more signs banning eating and drinking on the steps, surveillance cameras, and overnight guards. "They are steps, at the end of the day, and they should be used as such at all times," another American tourist says. (The rest of "dirty" Rome may need an overhaul, too.)
