Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi) - Rome, Italy - Satellite Imagery Oddities on Waymarking.com

The Trevi Fountain is a large Baroque fountain tucked away in a residential section of Rome. It's 26 meters high and 20 meters wide and marks the terminal point the Acqua Vergine aqueduct.

Originally a simple basin, in 1730 Pope Clement XII organized a contest to design a new fountain. Eventually, Nicola Salvi was awarded the commission. Work began in 1732. Salvi incorporated many design elements proposed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini 100 years earlier. Work continued for 30 years. Nicola Salvi died in 1751 and the fountain was finished by Giuseppe Pannini in 1762, when Oceanus, god of all water by Pietro Bracci, the final figure, was placed in the center. The fountain was cleaned and refurbished in 1998.

The fountain is a wonderful sight by day but really outstanding at night when it is lit up against a darker background.
