The Trevi Fountain was definitely my favorite spot in all of Rome. It's way bigger in person than you think it would be and in way smaller of a square than you would think. (There's plenty of fountain and not very much room for it.) The sculptures (done by Nicola Salvi) were amazing and true works of art. All these surreal looking figures just seemed to rise up out of naturally flowing marble, blended together in this ethereally beautiful way.
There were always tons of people there, and not just tourists, yet I always felt secluded. Some of my favorite memories are of that spot and of the Tiramisu gelato I enjoyed there with my friend Madison. Just thinking about the water and enjoying my time in the eternal city. The trick to the fountain is to hold the coin in your right hand and then throw it in backwards over your left shoulder. This way, and only this way, is how you guarantee your return to Rome. (Giordano, my Italian tour guide, taught me that.) Arrivederci Rome! Until we meet again!
Here is the front, my friend Madison, and that amazing Tiramisu gelato!
