Legend
has it that if you toss a coin over your
shoulder and into Trevi fountain, you'll one
day return to Rome. This might be part of the
reason the fountain's area is one of the most
visited places in Rome. Pope Clement XII
ordered the construction of the fountain in
1735 on a spot where a drinking fountain had
been for centuries. A beautiful plaza filled
with strange and wonderful statues, the
fountain gained much recognition after it was
featured in the movie "La Dolce
Vita", directed by Federico Fellini.
