TreviFountain

RomeItaly

The Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi) is the

most famous and arguably the most beautiful

fountain in Rome. This impressive Baroque-

styled monument was completed in 1762 and

still dominates the small Trevi square located

in the city’s Quirinale district.

History

The imposing fountain sits at the junction of

three roads, or tre vie, which many believe

gave the fountain its name, and marks the

terminal point of one of the original aqueducts

that supplied water to ancient Rome. Built by

Marcu Vipsanius Agrippa in 19 BC, the Aqua

Virgo aqueduct was over 13 miles (21 km) long

and even then had a fountain at its terminus.

The aqueduct and fountain served Rome for

over 400 years, but after the invasion of the

Goths in AD 537, the aqueduct was cut off

and the final portion abandoned, forcing the

medieval Romans to draw water from wells

and the River Tiber. It would be over 1,000

years, and the advent of the Early Renaissance

period, before a fountain would again stand in

the location we know today.

Many smaller fountains were constructed

between 1400 and 1700, almost all of them at

the behest of the reigning pope. It was also

Pope Clement XII who organized a competition

in 1730 to build a more dramatic fountain.

Many of the most renowned architects of the

day entered the competition, which architect

Nicola Salvi eventually won.

With a budget of 17,647 Scudo (the Papal

State’s currency), work began in 1732.

Unfortunately, neither Clement XII nor Salvi

would live to see the work completed. It was

Pietro Bracci who, under the guardianship of

Clement XIII, would complete the project. The

magnificent fountain that we know today was

officially opened on Sunday, May 22, 1762.

The central theme of this impressive fountain is

the Taming of the Waters. In a mix of water and

rockwork, Tritons guide Oceanus’ shell chariot,

taming the horses, or hippocampi, of the sea.

A triumphal arch with three niches holds the

fountain’s main statues. The center niche

frames Oceanus and includes freestanding

columns for maximal light and shade. In the

niches flanking Oceanus, Abundance spills

water from her urn and Salubrity holds a cup

from which a snake drinks. Above, bas-reliefs

illustrate the Roman origin of the aqueducts.

The 86 ft. (26.3 m) tall and 161.3 ft. (49.15 m)

wide fountain is superimposed on a backdrop

of the elegant Palazzo Poli. The palace was

given a new facade to match the fountain and

today houses the National Institute of Graphic

Art.

The Trevi Fountain Today

The Trevi Fountain has become an iconic

symbol of Rome and remains one of the city’s

most popular tourist attractions. A traditional

legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into

the fountain, they are ensured a return to

Rome. It is estimated that 3,000 euros are

thrown into the fountain each day.

The fountain has provided a backdrop for many

classic movies, including Hollywood’s 1954

romantic comedy, Three Coins in a Fountain,

and Federico Fellini’s famous 1960 La Dolce

Vita. Part of the fountain is also replicated at

the Italy Pavilion at Epcot in Walt Disney World

in the US.

The fountain was refurbished in 1998; the

stonework was scrubbed and all cracks and

other areas of deterioration were repaired by

skilled artisans, and the fountain was equipped

with recirculating pumps.

In January 2013, it was announced that

the Italian fashion company Fendi would

sponsor a 20-month, € 2.2 million restoration

of the fountain; it will be the most thorough

restoration in the fountain’s history.

The Architects

Little of Nicola Salvi’s (1697–1751) work beyond

the Trevi Fountain remains today and relatively

little is known of the architect himself. He was

admitted to the Roman Academy of Arcadia

in 1717 and only became an architect after

studying mathematics and philosophy. His

friend and colleague, the sculptor Pietro

Bracci (1700–1773), would eventually go on to

complete the fountain. Bracci’s most famous

piece of work, the statue of Oceanus, forms

the centerpiece of the fountain.
