According to the city council's draft, visitors who want to visit the Trevi Fountain must make reservations in advance, at fixed times. The number of people allowed on the steps around the fountain should also be limited.
The Trevi Fountain is one of the most Instagrammed tourist attractions in the world. In the summer, crowds of tourists crowd around this 18th-century masterpiece to admire and take photos.
One of the most famous activities for international tourists when visiting Rome is to go to the Trevi Fountain to take souvenir photos.
The Trevi Fountain is about 49m wide and 26.3m high. It is the largest baroque fountain in Rome, completed in 1762. Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri said "basically, the situation at the Trevi Fountain is becoming very difficult to manage".
The Italian capital is preparing to host the Holy Year in 2025, a year-long Catholic event expected to attract 32 million tourists and pilgrims. Tours of the Trevi Fountain will be booked in advance and at fixed times, and the number of people allowed on the steps around the Trevi will be limited.
Because of overcrowding, this place requires charging visitors.
Rome Tourism Councillor Alessandro Onorato said "non-residents will be asked to pay a symbolic fee of one or two euros".
Around 21 million tourists visit Rome each year, many of whom stop by the Trevi Fountain. Completed in 1762 and covering one side of the Palazzo Poli palace in central Rome, this late Baroque masterpiece illustrates the theme of taming water.
This is where Italian director Federico Fellini set the famous scene in La Dolce Vita: Actress Anita Ekberg waded into the fountain at midnight and waved at her co-star Marcello Mastroianni to join her.
Throwing coins to make wishes is a popular activity when coming here.
Unfortunately, this scene cannot be recreated in real life as anyone who wades into the water will face a large fine.
The Trevi Fountain is famous for its coin tossing legend. If you toss a coin in your right hand and throw it over your left shoulder, your dream of returning to Rome will come true. With 2 coins, you will have a chance to have a beautiful love. With 3 coins, you will get married in the future. Many leaders of major countries in the world often visit here.
