Trevi Fountain 25, Rome

...to see another. The Trevi Fountain (Fontana Di Trevi) was never in danger of being sacrificed, and if you go there for yourself you will see why. In my opinion it is the most beautiful and stunning fountain in all of Rome. This baroque marble masterpiece stands 85 feet high and 65 feet wide, dominates the square in which it stands and is constantly crowded by tourists such is its popularity. Like many of the wonderful sights of Rome, this is free ...
...having been to see the Trevi Fountain during the day and spending a good deal of time there, I couldn't help but wish that I could experience it without all the tourists. So I went back after dinner one night at about 11pm. It was raining and I had a guy harassing me to take one of his plastic roses but these annoyances merely fell into the background as I had the stunning fountain all to myself. It is a completely different experience at night, ...

Review of Trevi Fountain 25, Rome

...most stunning examples – the Trevi Fountain. As we walk down a narrow street that leads to the fountain and turn a corner, we are greeted by a sight that takes our breath away. It is the huge Trevi fountain, 20 meters wide and 26 meters high, which dominates a small square. What an impressive structure to be tucked away in such a confined space! The Trevi Fountain was commissioned by Pope Clement XII and designed by Italian architect Niccolo Salvi. ...
...donated to a religious charity. If, as Respighi believed, the foundations sing with the voice of the city, then the Trevi Foundation stands out as a soloist – exceptional among the many foundations that are admired by visitors to Rome, the so-called Eternal City. Thanks for Reading $Quan$ ...
