Rome’s iconic Trevi Fountain is back to its full glory after months of restoration. The historic landmark, one of the city’s top tourist attractions, reopened following cleaning and repair work that began in October.
The Trevi Fountain, one of Rome’s most cherished landmarks, has reopened after an extraordinary restoration that brings new life to this 18th-century masterpiece. This is also a part of Rome's preparations for the 2025 Roman Catholic Holy Year.
For centuries, this iconic fountain has been a symbol of beauty, history, and romance in the Eternal City. Now, after three months of meticulous cleaning and repairs, the marble gleams brighter than ever, inviting visitors from around the world to experience its timeless allure.
Rome’s Mayor Roberto Gualtieri called the project a "necessary and significant intervention," noting how the restored colors of the marble now capture the fountain’s full glory. As the water began flowing again, applause from visitors filled the air—even in the rain—marking the triumphant return of this cultural treasure.
But the fountain’s reopening isn’t just about preservation. New rules are in place to protect its grandeur, including a limit of 400 visitors at a time during the day and a ban on sitting along its edges.
The €327,000 restoration, funded by the European Union’s recovery program, is the first major work on the fountain since 2014. Designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed in the 18th century, this late Baroque marvel remains one of the world’s most photographed and visited landmarks.
Trevi monument is also an experience that leaves a lasting impression on everyone who sees it. Now, with its beauty fully restored, it’s ready to enchant the next generation of dreamers.
It is also remembered for one of cinema's most famous scenes when in Federico Fellini's "La Dolce Vita" Anita Ekberg wades into the fountain and beckons her co-star Marcello Mastroianni to join her: "Marcello! Come here!"
