perfection!

[jl132, 08/09/2011] When I was in Rome for a week the whole time it was around 40 degrees, even in the shade. Still I enjoyed my time in Rome although hopefully next time it will be less warm. It was our own fault because we should have known that when you go to Rome in August, it will be very warm! We visited all main attractions and of course we had to see the Trevi Fountain. The Trevi fountain is located in the centre of Rome and is pretty easy to reach. We took the metro and got out at the Barberini station and from here it’s only a few minutes to walk. You can’t really miss the fountain. First of all you wi [more]

very good

[bluejules, 28/08/2006] This was one of the first attractions that we visited when we were in Rome and it was a very enjoyable experience. Fontana di Trevi (Trevi Fountain) is the largest of the Baroque fountains of Rome. It is 85 feet high (25.9 meters) and 65 feet wide (19.8 meters). The fountain is at the juncture of three roads and it marks the terminal point of the Aqua Virgo, an ancient aqueduct that supplied water to Rome. In 19 BC the Romans located a pure water source 14 miles from the city (from the Salone Springs) and Aqua Virgo supplied the fountains of the historic centre of Rome with water. It ser [more]

very good

The suthor talks about the Trevi Fountain and states that "this newly restored gem is a must on everybody's itinerary" and "you'll find it hard to believe that this little piazza was nearly always deserted before the film Three Coins in the Fountain brought the stampede of tour buses". When building the fountain "it was based on the design of Nicolo Salvi (who's said to have died of illness contracted during his supervision of the project)". The fountain actually gets it's water from "the Acqua Vergine aqueduct". The building of the fountain was "completed in 1762" The author finishe [more]

perfection!

"One of Rome's earliest aqueducts" supplies the "Fontana di Trevi" with water, "Rome's largest and most famous fountain". The tradition is to "throw a coin into the fountain over your shoulder" if you want to return to Rome one day, two, if you want to fall "in love with an Italian", and a "third" to marry "him or her"! Completed in 1762, the "extravagant baroque work takes up most of the piazza" depicting "Neptune's chariot being led by Tritons with seahorses". Since the fountain was cleaned, as well as "its water supply" in 1991, "pollution has already dulled the brilliant white of the cl [more]
