Trevi Fountain
The terminal point of a 2,000-year-old aqueduct that still swallows about 3,000 euros in wishes a day.

Water from a spring found in 19 BC still pours through Salvi and Bracci's travertine stage: Oceanus flanked by two tritons and two hippocamps, 26 m high against the rear of Palazzo Poli.
What to look for
- The 'asso di coppe' (Ace of Cups): a vase Salvi added to hide a barber's sign so it 'would not spoil the ensemble.'
- The two tritons and two hippocamps (sea horses), providing symmetrical balance with maximum contrast in their moods and poses.
- Flanking allegories - Salubrity, whose cup a snake drinks from, and Abundance, tipping an overflowing urn.
Since February 2026, non-residents pay a 2-euro ticket to approach at peak hours; free after 10 p.m. Tossed coins go to Caritas.
