The Legend of the Trevi Fountain
Why do people throw coins into the fountain?
The legend was born in 1954 with the film “Three Coins in the Trevi Fountain” and states the following:
Throwing a coin into the fountain: you will return to Rome.
Throwing two coins into the fountain: you will find love with an Italian.
Throwing three coins into the fountain: you will marry the person you have known.
For it to work, it is recommended to throw the coin with the right hand over the left shoulder.
A curiosity: every year, about one million euros in coins are extracted from the fountain. Since 2007, this money has been donated to charity.
The eternal city
Rome, the capital of Italy, is a city rich in history, culture, and timeless charm. Founded, according to legend, in 753 BC, it is known as the "Eternal City" for its long and continuous existence. Once the center of the Roman Empire, it is home to iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon.
The city is also the seat of the Vatican, the heart of Catholic Christianity, where St. Peter’s Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, and the Vatican Museums are located.
Rome seamlessly blends ancient history, Renaissance art, and a vibrant modern life, with charming squares like Piazza Navona and Trastevere, a neighborhood symbolic of its authenticity. It is also famous for its traditional cuisine, featuring dishes such as carbonara and cacio e pepe. A true treasure trove of artistic and cultural wonders, Rome is one of the most captivating destinations in the world.
