The Trevi Fountain
The Trevi Fountain is the largest and one of the most famous fountains in the world. It was built between 1732 and 1762 by Nicola Salvi and Giuseppe Pannini, following a design by Bernini. The fountain depicts Oceanus, the god of water, riding a chariot pulled by sea horses and tritons, surrounded by rocks, plants, and statues of allegorical figures. The fountain is fed by an ancient aqueduct that dates back to 19 BC. The fountain is also a popular tourist attraction, as it is said that throwing a coin into the water ensures a return to Rome. Designed by Nicola Salvi and completed by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762, after a long and complex history of construction and competition.
