The Trevi Fountain is the most famous of the Roman fountains, a true "jewel" of water and stone. It represents the terminal of the Vergine aqueduct, the only one of the ancient aqueducts uninterruptedly in use to this day.

Its name derives from a toponym in use in the area since the mid-twelfth century, regio Trivii, referring to the confluence of three streets in the square, or from the triple outlet of the water of the original fountain.

The construction of the current Trevi Fountain dates back to 1732 on a project by the architect Nicola Salvi. Leaning against Palazzo Poli, the fountain is divided into the large basin with a large cliff where the statue of Oceanus dominates in the center driving the shell-shaped chariot, pulled by the angry horse and the placid horse, restrained by two tritons.

The custom says that, before leaving, you have to throw a coin into the fountain so that you will surely return to Rome.

The Trevi Fountain was the splendid setting for the most famous scene of the film La Dolce Vita by director Federico Fellini from which one of our rooms in Trevi Steps Design Rooms also takes its name.

The film is a journey into the Roman dolce vita at the end of the fifties starring Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg with her famous phrase "Marcello, come here. Hurry up!" while she bathes dressed in the Trevi Fountain.
