Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain is a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy. Standing 26 metres (85.3 feet) high and 20 metres (65.6 feet) wide,[1] it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world.
In 1629 Pope Urban VIII, finding the earlier fountain insufficiently dramatic, asked Gian Lorenzo Bernini to sketch possible renovations, but when the Pope died, the project was abandoned. Though Bernini's project was torn down for Salvi's fountain, there are many Bernini touches in the fountain as it was built. An early, striking and influential model by Pietro da Cortona, preserved in the Albertina, Vienna, also exists, as do various early 18th century sketches, most unsigned, as well as a project attributed to Nicola Michetti[6] one attributed to Ferdinando Fuga[7] and a French design by Edme Bouchardon.[8]
Coin throwing
A traditional legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome.[10] This was the theme of 1954's Three Coins in the Fountain and the Academy Award winning song by that name which introduced the picture.
An estimated 3,000 euros are thrown into the fountain each day.[11] The money has been used to subsidize a supermarket for Rome's needy.[11] However, there are regular attempts to steal coins from the fountain.[11][
