Roma : A penny for a hope to return

This first time I saw the Fontana Trevi was in Lizzie McGuire The Movie. Since than, me and my sister knew we had to step those same steps Lizzie McGuire did. Our wish to find our Italiano Signore. So we would never miss this romantic and amazing wishing well during our visit to Rome. (Actually, it was our main reason to go to Rome since young)


It was crowded by tourists and also people who demand pay for them to take your pictures using their Poloroid cameras. It was impossible to put up a tripod in d midst of the crowd. Some pictures were taken by my sisters compact camera and they look awsome. So awsome pictures in this post are from her camera.

Fontana di Trevi

25.9 meters high and 19.8 meters wide

The Trevi Fountain was designed by Nicolo Salvi and completed in 1762. The carved, marble centrepiece is a large shell pulled by two sea-horses and driven by two tritons, from which a majestic statue representing the ocean emerges

Why do people throw coins in the Fontana Trevi?

A traditional legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome.

This fountain earns Rome 3000€ daily. Coins are collected at night and is used to subside a supermarket for the needy people in Rome. Now we know our wishes helps people right?

Looking at the size and structure of this fountain, we know that no artist of today could make a masterpiece like that.
