Fontana di Trevi (Trevi Fountain)Rome Tourist Attractions - Fontana di Trevi Fontana
di Trevi (Trevi Fountain), lies next to Via del Tritone
and is surrounded by a labyrinth of narrow roads. Numerous legends
made the Fountain famous. One says that a virgin came along drunk
from a three way (trevi) well and subsequently built the fountain.
The Trevi Fountain’s actual popularity is thanks to Anita Ekberg
with the famous scene from Fellinis film La Dolce Vita (1959). According
to a myth a coin thrown in this fountain will secure the return to
Rome. The extravagant baroque fountain was designed by Nicol Salvi
on behalf of Pope Clemens XII built in the year 1762. The
statues represent wealth, Agrippa, health, which displays
the holy virgin as well as Neptun, who steer the car pulled
by the sea horse. All sculptures depict a group of figures in a Melodrama
with a Renaissance palace in the background as well as fissured rock
in the foreground. |
