This is Bojan from The Roman Guy. Welcome to the new Trevi Fountain in Rome. The restoration of the Trevi Fountain took over a year and a half, and it was sponsored by the fashion house, Fendi, who invested two million euros in the project. But it's not the first time a fashion house actually sponsors a restoration of a Roman monument. The Colosseum, who was sponsored by Todd's and right now, the Spanish steps are being sponsored by Bulgari. The beautiful Trevi Fountain was constructed in the 18th century. It took several decades, several Popes and architects to finish the project. Most of you probably know it from the famous movie La Dolce Vita directed by Federico Fellini, because right here, we had the famous scene where Anita Ekberg and Marcello Mastroianni take a dip in the fountain. I would demonstrate it for you but I'll get fined 500 euros for it, and that's a lot of pizza so I'm not going to do it. The Trevi fountain is 300 years old, but its story goes way back in history. In this very place, 2,000 years ago, we had the endpoint of a Roman aqueduct called Aqua Virgo. It was built by a man called Marcus Agrippa. Legend has it he led his armies to this place where he encountered a young Roman girl who showed him and his soldiers a well of water. Eventually, he will build this Roman aqueduct which will end right here. 1,800 years later, we have this spectacular fountain leaning on the façade of this building behind me. Trevi Fountain is the endpoint of the Aqua Virgo aqueduct that used to supply the city of Rome with fresh water back in the day. Today, we have a system of aqueducts in Rome supplying water not only to the people in the city but to every single fountain you will see in Rome. People have been throwing coins into the Trevi Fountain for the longest time. Now, some do it for health, some do it for love, some do it for luck, but legend has it, the Trevi Fountain will only grant you one wish, the most important one of all and that is that one day you return to this amazing city. Nowadays, all the money thrown in the fountain is donated to charity so it's actually for a good cause.
