ANDREA MATTINA
"Vuoi esprimere un desiderio? A Roma non serve strofinare una lampada, basta andare a vedere uno dei suoi monumenti più belli ossia la Fontana di Trevi. Si dice che se ci lanci una monetina ed esprimi il desiderio di tornare a Roma questo si avvera, io per non sapere ne leggere ne scrivere ho chiesto anche ricchezza e benessere ...E) Questa famosissima leggenda nasce nel 1954 con il film " Tre soldi nella fontana di Trevi". Ogni anno questa tradizione frutta al Comune di Roma circa un milione di euro che poi vengono dati in beneficenza. Il valore economico della Fontana era già noto anche al grande Totò che in "Totò truffa 62" si finge il Cavaliere Ufficiale Antonio Trevi, erede della Famiglia Trevi proprietaria della Fontana da generazioni, pur di raggirare un povero ingenuo ricco americano ) genio incontrastato Se invece siete in cerca dell'amore bevete l'acqua dalla Fonte degli Innamorati, la troverete sul lato destro guardando la statua del Dio Oceano, avete visto mai che si esaudisca anche questo di desiderio? G Questa straordinaria opera d'arte è molto più che una scultura: è il trionfo dell'estetica barocca che si incarna nelle forme naturali e celebra il meraviglioso e mutevole mondo dell'acqua. Un gioiello di pietra la cui presenza si avverte già percorrendo i vicoli vicini. Non è difficile infatti camminando per le viuzze attigue, la mattina presto o a tarda sera quando il vociare dei turisti non c'è sentire lo scrosciare dell'acqua avvicinandovisi, l'audio del mio video ne e' la riprova. Per finire questo breve racconto della Fontana di Trevi non si può non citare il film di Fellini "La dolce vita" in cui proprio nella fontana si gira la scena più famosa... "Marcello come here!" ❤️"
"After your quick coffee break it’s time for another historic landmark, this time you’re stopping at Rome’s most notable water feature — the Trevi Fountain! One of the most famous examples of Baroque architecture designed by Nicola Salvi and the largest Baroque fountain in Rome, it’s renowned for its dramatic grandeur and intricate design. The fountain is centered around the powerful figure of Neptune the god of the sea, who’s surrounded by Tritons, beautiful sea horses, and allegorical figures representing abundance and health. The fountain stands at the end of the Aqua Virgo, an ancient Roman aqueduct constructed in 19 B.C. which was restored during the Renaissance to supply water to Rome. Following the retirement of this now outdated invention, the Trevi Fountain was built as a tribute to the ancient aqueduct, showcasing the abundance of fresh water it provided to the city—with water cascading from rock formations into the large basin below, this becomes an even more spectacular sight illuminated at night! Don’t hesitate to toss a coin into the fountain over your shoulder and make a wish either, since this currency is collected and donated to charity, helping fund food programs for the city's needy. Pro Tip: Legend has it that if you throw a coin over your shoulder into the fountain, you’ll return to Rome one day. Throwing two coins means you’ll find love in Rome, and throwing three means marriage is around the corner!"
"The Trevi Fountain, or Fontana di Trevi, is one of Rome's most beloved landmarks and an exquisite example of Baroque artistry. Completed in 1762 by architect Nicola Salvi, the fountain is famed for its dramatic design featuring Neptune, the god of the sea, riding a chariot pulled by sea horses. The majestic water feature, which stands 26 meters high and 49 meters wide, is not only a masterpiece of sculpture and architecture but also a popular spot for visitors who follow the tradition of tossing a coin over their left shoulder to ensure a return to Rome. Visitors can enjoy the fountain at any time, as it is illuminated beautifully at night and provides a picturesque setting throughout the day. To avoid the busiest times, it’s best to visit early in the morning or later in the evening. The fountain is located in the Trevi district, easily accessible by foot or public transportation. While there is no admission fee, it's a good idea to be mindful of the crowds and to respect the historical monument by not touching the water or climbing on the fountain."
