Trevi Fountain - Trevi Fountain
This fountain is located in Trevi Square in Rome, the capital of Italy, and is one of Rome's most famous tourist attractions. It was originally built by Augustus, the first emperor of the Roman Empire. The current Baroque-style Trevi Fountain was remodeled in the 18th century to a design by Roman architect Niccolo Salvi and completed in 1762 after his death, and is located in front of Palazzo Poli as part of its facilities. The composition, with the sea god Poseidon in the center and the fertility goddesses Ceres ( Demeter ) and Salus (Hygieia) on either side, was designed by Salvi. There is a legend that if you throw a coin into the fountain backwards, your wish will come true.
