Itinerary

Fontana di Trevi

The Trevi Fountain is one of Rome’s most iconic landmarks, a breathtaking masterpiece of Baroque art. Designed by Nicola Salvi and completed in 1762, this grand fountain stands at the junction of three ancient Roman aqueducts, symbolizing abundance and purity. Towering at 26 meters, it features a dramatic scene of Oceanus, the god of water, riding a shell-shaped chariot pulled by seahorses. Tradition says that tossing a coin over your shoulder ensures a return to Rome, making it a must-visit for travelers. Beneath the fountain lies a fascinating underground world, where remnants of the ancient Aqua Virgo aqueduct still flow. The Trevi Fountain isn’t just a stunning sight—it’s a piece of living history, blending art, mythology, and tradition in the heart of the Eternal City.
