Justin Bieber may be a pop culture anti-hero in the U.S., but in Italy they can’t enough.
Bieber Fever descended on Rome’s luxury five-star Hotel de Russie on Wednesday (Oct. 8), as hundreds of young, female fans lined the street chanting “We want Justin!”
The 20-year-old has been on something of a grand tour since his Paris Fashion Week trip with on-off girlfriend Selena Gomez , who flew back to Los Angeles last week.
Justin dubbed his continuing travels a “world adventure” on a black and white Instagram photo, which showed him standing on the steps of a private jet with his father, Jeremy, 39.
After his dad joined him in Paris, Justin moved on to Santorini in Greece on Friday before hitting Florence on Monday.
And now, Rome, where he arrived on Tuesday, October 7.

Father and son were spotted exploring the ancient city in search of something to eat after leaving their hotel on Tuesday.
Justin wore baggy, drop-crotch grey/blue jeans, white sneakers, a dark blue/black hoodie and a hat.
Jeremy also kept it casual in a form-fitting blue jersey, black leather pants, white sneakers with color detail and a baseball hat.
It’s thought Justin has turned to his father for solace after reportedly splitting from Selena, who recently unfollowed him on Instagram after firing off two cryptic tweets suggesting the couple’s reunion is over following their Paris trip.
Father and son were spotted sightseeing in Paris last week.
After eventually making their way to Florence , the pair were seen grabbing a bite to eat at a McDonalds, sampling some gelato, taking in some culture at the Ponte Vecchio bridge while relaxing in the Tuscany capital.
Justin was also snapped riding a Vespa in Florence.

While the relationship status of Justin and Selena isn’t yet confirmed, Justin posted a black and white kissing pic of the twosome on Sunday, which was taken during their Caribbean trip to St Martin just before arriving in Paris.
For his part, Justin has updated fans on his travels via his social media accounts.
“Blessed to travel the world,” he tweeted on October 6 from Florence.
He also Instagrammed a video from the packed city, teasing in the caption, writing, “ Italy was pretty awesome, could find me in your city next (sic).”
Earlier Wednesday, Justin tweeted, “Where am I?” He later posted a selfie to Shots while sitting in Rome’s famously, chaotic traffic.

“Me and my pops on a world adventure,” Justin captioned an Instagram photo Tuesday.
It most certainly is Biebs.
