The tour will continue with the Trevi Fountain, built in 1735 to commemorate the restoration of the Virgin aqueduct. It would be difficult to find anywhere else where the beauty and power of water is equally celebrated: a marbled triumph of tritons and sea deities that dominate this small piazza in the heart of the city. Its magic enchanted the great director Fellini. In the film “La Dolce Vita” a divine Anita Ekberg, clad in an evening gown, enters the fountain and invites Mastroianni to join her: “Marcello, come here!” However, try to imitate her these days and you will be fined. Notwithstanding, it is absolutely legal and recommended to toss a coin into the fountain. Ask you guide the meaning behind the tradition.
Once your eyes are satiated, it will be time to please your palate. Roman gastronomy focuses on simple dishes and flavours that promote the freshness of the ingredients. You’ll appreciate Roman cuisine’s simplicity in a small locale where tradition meets warmth and hospitality.
