The Story of the Trevi Fountain

It is one of the most famous fountains in the world. Everybody knows that if you throw a coin over your shoulder into it, you will return to Rome. But what is the story behind it? And where does this custom come from? Watch the video and I'll tell you all.

I am an art teacher. And omg I love the rugged rocks the most too. It actually enhances the fountain

When I was in Rome I threw a coin in the fountain never thinking I'd ever be back. Two years later I did come back, so maybe the coin toss superstition really is true. It was for me. Great video and you explained everything very well.

I am 71 living in the US. I saw the movie as a child, and yes, it was a big hit that shone a lot of attention on Rome. Roman Holiday was even bigger. I'm sure it made many Americans want to go to Rome to see that beautiful city.

Wonderful job, as always :)

Your videos are usually really excellent. But in this video you forgot to mention one of the masterpieces of Italian movies in the '60s... La Dolce Vita by Fellini with the famous scene played out right here. Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Eckberg the actors!!!!!

[@storiesofart]

So true.
