Rome to restrict visitors to Trevi Fountain

Tourists flock to the Trevi Fountain

The Italian capital is preparing to host the Holy Year in 2025, a year-long Catholic event expected to attract 32 million tourists and pilgrims. Tours of the Trevi Fountain will be booked in advance and at fixed times, and the number of people allowed on the steps around the Trevi will also be limited.

Rome's tourism commissioner, Alessandro Onorato, said "non-residents will be asked to pay a symbolic fee of one or two euros". Earlier, Mayor Roberto Gualtieri said the situation at the Trevi Fountain had become "technically difficult to manage", calling measures to limit the number of tourists a "real possibility".

The Trevi Fountain, completed in 1762, is a late Baroque masterpiece that illustrates the theme of taming water. It is one of the most popular and crowded destinations in Rome.

At Trevi, there is a tradition that most tourists love, which is to hold a coin in the right hand, throw it over the left shoulder to make the dream of returning to Rome come true. Many leaders of major countries in the world often visit here. Trevi is also used as the setting for many movies such as La Dolce Vita, When in Rome, Roman Holiday .
