The Trevi Fountain celebrates the ever-mutating and incredible power of water, just like Rome. It is a fantastic work of art that is much more than just a sculpture. This triumphant example of Baroque art with its soft, natural lines and fantasy creatures embodies movement as the soul of the world. The fountain is a true wonder, a jewel of water and stone that is nestled between the palaces of the historic city centre. The palace in the background blends perfectly with the composition and the play on space and mass gives an air of movement to
the entire statue. This huge Baroque construction, inspired by sea mythology, took 30 years to build.
