Fontana di Trevi

Piazzale di Trevi
Rome

Trevi Fountain is the most elaborate of the Baroque fountains in Rome. It was designed by Nicole Salvi and is found at the junction between three streets and indicates the end of the ancient aqueduct, Aqua Virgo which was used to supply Rome with water.

The fountain has a statue of the god Neptune which is being pulled along by two sea horses and it has been used as a scene for various films. The most famous scene filmed at the fountain was in Fellini's, La Dolce Vita and since the film Three Coins in the Fountain was released, it is believed that if you throw three coins into the fountain you will return to the city.
