  1. Trevi Fountain A school project created by maximos ioannidis -chatziandreou Teacher : Tziva Christina English Class E6 School year : 2008 - 2009

  2. This wonderful monument • The monument is called Trevi Fountain. It is the largest standing 25.9 meters high and 19.8 meters wide fountain in whole Rome. • It is located in the rione of Trevi, near the Mediterranean sea. • Today it is used as a relax spot for all tourists and citizens. • It is also known as one of the best wish-parks all over the world.

  3. In 1629, Pope has chosen Bernini, one great designer, to sketch sightseeing's possible renovations. After Popes death, the whole structure has stopped. A few years later, Bernini has started the structure from the beginning, because of his opponent designer, Salvi. They had different opinions and results, so Salvi took the job. In the half-finished work he died.The Trevi Fountain was finished in 1762 by Giuseppe Pannini, who substituted the present bland allegories. More information about it

  4. Monument History The fountain at the juncture of three roads marks the terminal pointof the "modern" Acqua Vergine, the revivified Aqua Virgo, one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. In 19 BC, supposedly with the help of a virgin, Roman technicians located a source of pure water some 13 km (8 miles) from the city. The Roman custom of building a handsome fountain at the endpoint of an aqueduct that brought water to Rome was revived in the fifteenth century, with the Renaissance. In 1453, Pope Nicholas V finished mending the Acqua Vergine aqueduct and built a simple basin, designed by the humanist architect Leon Battista Alberti, to herald the water's arrival.

  5. Conclusion • In my opinion, Trevi Fountain is one of the best things to see in Rome. • On Trevi Square you can enjoy your breakfast in a cafeteria near the fountain or take a walk. • I personally have a recent experience at this beautiful sight, because I was in Italy with my family and we visited this beautiful sight. • I recommend it!
