Trevi Fountain is a 25m high scene incorporating a fountain. It was begun by Bernini in 1629, but is largely the work of Nicola Salvi. It was finished in 1762 by Giuseppe Pannini. It’s all arches and columns and gods and symbolism. If it isn’t the most spectacular fountain in the world, I don’t know what is.
Trip Advisor reviewer, kizzibee, says:
“It’s just a fountain really.”
Kizzibee tells us that it’s not worth spending more than 15 minutes at it.
That’s a maximum of 15 minutes. How many fountains are there in the world that incorporate over a hundred years’ work? How many fountains have had three different architects?
Is there any fountain anywhere in the world that’s worth looking at for longer than it takes to have a shit?
