Rome tourist attraction Trevi Fountain reopens after restoration work

The Trevi Fountain, a tourist attraction in Rome, Italy, reopened on the 22nd local time after a three-month renovation.

To prevent congestion after reopening, fountain visitors must make an online reservation in advance and pay 2 euros for admission, and can stay up to 30 minutes.

Italy expects a large number of tourists to visit Rome for the Catholic Jubilee, which will be declared tomorrow (24th).

The Trevi Fountain, completed in 1762, is considered a masterpiece of the late Baroque style, and the myth goes that if you turn your back on the fountain and toss the coin in your right hand over your left shoulder, you will visit Rome again.

Coins accumulating each year are estimated to be worth 1.5 million euros and 2.2 billion won in our money, and have been donated to charities over the past 15 years.

The renovation cost 327,000 euros and 490 million won in our money to remove limestone deposits accumulated under the fountain and fill the cracks.
