Trevi Fountain, or Fontana di Trevi, is a stunning example of Baroque art and one of the most celebrated fountains in the world. Located in the heart of Rome, Italy, it was designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762. The fountain stands at the junction of three roads (tre vie), which gives it its name, and marks the terminal point of the ancient Aqua Virgo aqueduct. The central figure of the fountain is Neptune, god of the sea, riding a chariot in the form of a shell, pulled by sea horses guided by Tritons. The intricate design and grand scale of the fountain make it a popular tourist attraction, as well as a cultural symbol of Rome. According to legend, throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain ensures a return to the Eternal City. The fountain has also been featured in numerous films, making it a celebrated icon in popular culture. Its maintenance and preservation are of great importance, and it underwent an extensive restoration in 2015, ensuring that it continues to captivate visitors with its beauty and history.
