In the center of the Trevi Fountain, from the 18th century, Neptune stands facing the sea in a chariot drawn by walruses and tritons (figures from the mythology of gods and seamen, whose upper part is in the shape of a human body and their lower part is in the shape of a fish). In front of the large fountain is a round pool of water and behind it is a building. The beautiful and well-known fountain, well lit even at night, stands in the small Trevi square and is surrounded by colorful buildings and is called the “wishing fountain” because of the coins thrown into the fountain in the belief that throwing two coins into the fountain will guarantee the thrower that he will return to Rome in the future and that his wishes will come true. Needless to say, the large and beautiful fountain in the small square was crowded with many visitors, both during the day and in the evening when it was lit up.
