OH MY SWEET LIFE … ! 

Trevi’s fountain is one of the most beautiful and particular fountains in Italy. There are more legends about that … 

-s/he, who drinks the water from the fountain, will return to Rome.....

-s/he, who throws a coin into it, will return to Rome....

-lovers, who drink the water from the fountain on the left side, will be forever happy....
The fountain was built under Pope Clemente XII in 1735 by Arch.Nicolò Salvi. It is supposed the name origin could come from the Latin toponym “region trivia” but some people think the name coul derive from the girl’s name Trivia who indicated the path of the well to Agrippa.

The fountain represents the statue of the god Oceano who leads a shell chariot, carried by a triton and two winged sea horses. One the sides there are the personifications of Salubrity and Abundance whose author is Filippo Della Valle.

On the top of the fountain there are four statues who embody “Fruit Abundance”, “Fertility of the fields”, “The autumn gifts” and “Amenity grassland”.

Besides the Trevi’s fountain is famous for the scene in Fellini’s film “La Dolce Vita” … the most famous scene is Anita Ekberg’s bath at night into the Trevi’s fountain… this is one of the famous shots of all the movies in all times.
Now it's your turn … Are you going back to Rome? 

Will you swear eternal love to your beloved? 
Or are you still waiting to go back to the fountain, to close your eyes and express a wish before throwing a coin?

Rome .. wait for me, I'm coming!
