The new elegant Town House Fontana di Trevi is located in a prestigious position at only 25 meters from the world famous Trevi Fountain. This late Baroque creation is one of Rome’s unforgettable sights. In 19BC Agrippa decided to build a long canal to bring water to Rome. Pope Nicholas V commissioned

Spanish Steps

Gian Lorenzo Bernini to create the actual fountain but the project was abandoned after the death of Pope Urban VIII in 1644. In 1732, Pope Clement XII employed Niccolò Salvi to continue the work, and the result is a Baroque masterpiece. The fountain has a scenographical effect, guaranteed by the restricted space of the surrounding, which presents itself as a theatre. The central niche depicts Neptune riding a chariot driven by sea horses and the water flows over rocks before collecting in a pool below. According to legend, if you throw a coin into the water by expressing a wish, your wish will become true and you will certainly return to the Eternal City. Just 5 minuted walking from Fontana di Trevi you will find Piazza di Spagna, one of the most beautiful square in Rome and the Spanish Steps, one of Rome's most famous sight, due to their popularity as meeting point and to the position at the heart of the city's shopping area.

around the Pantheon and Piazza Navona.
The Pantheon was a temple dedicated to all the gods built by Agrippa in 27BC. In AD80 it was damaged by fire and restored by Domitian. Then Emperor Hadrian (117-38) rebuilt it. The temple was closed in the 4C by the first Christian Emperors but in 608 it was reopened and converted into a church dedicated to S. Mary ad Martyres. The Pantheon presents an hemispherical dome, whose hole at the top provides the the only light. Today, one of the chapel inside, contains the tomb of Vittorio Emanuele II (1820-78), the first king of unified Italy and the tomb of Raphael (who died at 37 years old in 1520). Piazza Navona is one of the most characteristics places which recalls the eternal spirit of Rome.
