Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain is a very photogenic location that must be included in your trip to Rome. It was originally built as an ending point to the aqua virgo, a roman aqueduct. It is tradition to build a large fountain at the terminating point of an aqueduct. The aqueducts were ruined, when the Goths invaded Rome. The Trevi Fountain was re-built in the renaissance to its present form.
It is a legend that if you throw a coin into the Trevi Fountain, you will be ensured a return to Rome. Over 3000 Euros are thrown into the Trevi Fountain on an average day. These coins are then collected at night and are used by the Italian government to subsidize a Supermarket for the needy.
