A temporary plastic tank has been installed in front of Trevi Fountain, a tourist attraction in Rome, Italy, which has been undergoing major renovation since last month.

Tourists without access to the Trevi Fountain are tossing coins into makeshift tanks, regrettably.

The Trevi Fountain has been said to be able to visit Rome again by tossing a coin in his right hand over his left shoulder with his back to the fountain.

The city of Rome began a major renovation of the Trevi Fountain on the 7th of last month ahead of next year's Catholic jubilee.

The renovation will continue until the end of the year to remove limestone deposits accumulated at the bottom of the Trevi Fountain and fill the cracks.

The city of Rome is also considering restricting access to the surrounding area and charging a small admission fee to reduce the number of tourists when the renovation is completed.

For the Catholic Jubilee, which returns every 25 years, 32 million tourists and pilgrims are expected to visit Rome next year.

Completed in 1762, the Trevi Fountain is considered a masterpiece of the late baroque style and is visited by millions of tourists a year.
