"Each Roman fountain bears witness to human experience. The origins, the locations and the elements of beauty of different centuries are something we can learn a lot from. Fountains play an important role in the history of Rome.

Rome today would not be the same for 21st century tourists without Fontana di trevi. It is one of the first destinations for people visiting the city..."--Karl Lagerfeld.
