Trevi Fountain

The tour begins in the surroundings of one of the most emblematic places in Rome: the Trevi Fountain. In front of this majestic Baroque scenery, we will take a moment to admire the details sculpted on the stone, hear the history of the fountain and discover the legends related to the traditional coin thrown into the water. Designed by Nicola Salvi and completed in 1762, the fountain represents the triumph of water, framed by the imposing figure of Ocean, seahorses, newts and mythological symbols.
After soaking in the magic of the fountain, we will take only a few steps to travel back in time, under the streets of the historic center, to a lesser-known but fascinating place: the Vicus Caprarius, also called The City of Water.
