Fontana di Trevi

The Fontana di Trevi Trevi Fountain is the largest about 26 meters high and 20 meters wide and the most ambitious building of baroque fountains in Italy and is located in the Trevi district in Rome. The fountain is leaning against the facade of the Palazzo Poli. The fountain was at the intersection of three roads tre vie, marking the final point of the Acqua Vergine, one of the oldest aqueducts that supplied the city of Rome. In 19 BC, supposedly assisted by a virgin, Roman technicians located a source of pure water a little more than 22 kilometers from the city scene represented in sculpture in the actual source. The water from this source was carried by the smaller aqueduct of Rome, directly to the bathrooms of Marco Vipsânio Agripa and served the city for more than 400 years.
