A wild brawl broke out between two women jockeying for the most flattering spot to snap a selfie at a popular tourist attraction in Rome, according to a report.

A 19-year-old Dutch gal and a 44-year-old Italian-American took vanity to new heights Wednesday evening when they began bickering over a space in front of the Trevi Fountain as a sunset created prime lighting, according to the UK Guardian.

Both ready for their close-ups, the women refused to budge from their staked-out spots — and began throwing punches, the paper reported.

Eight onlookers, including family members, joined in the fight and at least three cops were called to the scene to break up the selfie spat, according to the local paper La Repubblica. The tourists suffered only bruises.

2. Funny I was there in March of this year and it was raining

A huge crowd and no one was angry or shoving each other aside for selfies. A guy even took a picture of my husband and self. People can be so dumb. I saw all of these pictures and it was way more crowded when I was there but most of the tourists were not American but from other countries.

3. Dayum, that Teresa Giudice should just stick to weight-lifting.

4. I immediately wondered if the American shouted "Prostitution whore!!"
