Trevi Fountain Rome
Every day thousands of people come to toss coins into the Trevi Fountain - a delightful Rococo work of art. Its maritime theme - complete with Neptune, seahorses and palm trees - portrays several allegories. The fountain almost seems too big for its plaza. It is here that water has been supplied to the city for centuries via an underground aqueduct, which continues to supply the water for most of the fountains in the center of Rome.

For most people though, the fountain is far more than a masterpiece or a curiosity of history. It represents Rome itself: its history, its beauty and its romance. And that is why the Trevi Fountain is one of the most visited spots in the city. Like the Spanish Steps, there are many romantic legends that spring from this place. And that's why you'll see all those coins in the fountain. Toss a coin over your shoulder into the fountain to ensure your return to Rome. Toss two coins for a romantic encounter with an Italian. And if you are hoping to marry one of Rome's citizens, you will need to entice Neptune and his entourage with three coins!
