The Trevi Fountain in Rome, also known as Fontana di Trevi, is one of the most famous fountains in the world, drawing millions of visitors to the Eternal City each year. Designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and later completed by Giuseppe Pannini after Salvi's death, this grand fountain stands at the meeting point of three streets (tre vie), symbolizing an ancient Roman water source connected to the Aqua Virgo aqueduct, which once supplied water to Roman soldiers. Carved from travertine stone, the Trevi Fountain features allegorical figures, including Oceanus, the Roman god of the sea, riding a shell chariot pulled by sea horses. Behind the statues, the grand façade of Palazzo Poli enhances its majestic presence. Immortalized in films like La Dolce Vita and Roman Holiday, Trevi Fountain is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and a must-visit landmark, totally worth braving the packed crowds to witness its beauty.
