According to the city council's draft proposal, visitors wishing to see the Trevi Fountain must make reservations in advance and schedule visits during fixed hours. The number of people allowed to climb the steps around the fountain should also be limited.
The Trevi Fountain is one of the most popular tourist attractions and a frequent check-in spot on Instagram. In the summer, many tourists flock around this 18th-century masterpiece to admire and take photos.
One of the most popular activities for international tourists visiting Rome is going to the Trevi Fountain to take souvenir photos.
The Trevi Fountain is approximately 49 meters wide and 26.3 meters high. It is the largest Baroque fountain in Rome, completed in 1762. Rome's mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, stated that "basically, the situation at the Trevi Fountain is becoming very difficult to manage."
The Italian capital is preparing to host the 2025 Jubilee Year, a year-long Catholic event expected to attract 32 million tourists and pilgrims. According to the plan, tours of the Trevi Fountain will require advance booking and fixed schedules. The number of people allowed onto the steps surrounding the Trevi Fountain will also be limited.
Due to overcrowding, this place charges an entrance fee for visitors.
Rome Tourism Council Commissioner Alessandro Onorato said that "non-residents will be asked to pay a symbolic fee of one or two euros."
Each year, around 21 million tourists visit Rome, many of whom stop at the Trevi Fountain. This iconic landmark, completed in 1762 and covering one side of the Palazzo Poli in central Rome, is a masterpiece of the late Baroque period, illustrating the theme of water taming.
This is where Italian director Federico Fellini created the famous scene for his film La Dolce Vita: Actress Anita Ekberg wades into the fountain at midnight and beckons her co-star Marcello Mastroianni to join her.
Tossing coins to make a wish is a popular activity when visiting here.
Unfortunately, this scene cannot be replicated in real life because anyone who wades into the water would face a hefty fine.
The Trevi Fountain is famous for the legend of the wish-making coin toss. If you toss a coin with your right hand, throwing it over your left shoulder, your wish to return to Rome will come true. With two coins, you will have the chance to find love. With three coins, you will get married in the future. Many world leaders also frequently visit this place.
