Trevi Fountain is known as one of the most stunning fountains in the world and is a must see when visiting Rome. After visiting the fountain I learned some interesting things about it. The fountain dates back to ancient Roman times. It was redesigned in the 1700’s and completed in 1762. It was paid for with lottery money. It uses 2,824,800 cubic feet of water every day. Thank goodness the water is recycled. The coins are collected each night, around $3,000 Euros. The money is donated to an Italian charity, Caritas, and is used to donate groceries to the needy. Very interesting!

The massive monument has been featured in many films including Roman Holiday, Three Coins in the Fountain and even The Lizzie McGuire Movie. The fountain is even replicated at Epcot in Walt Disney World!
