History

[edit]

Origins before

[edit]

The fountain, at the junction of three vägar (tre vie),^[3] marks the ankomsthall point^[4] of the "modern" Acqua Vergine—the revived Aqua Virgo, one of the aqueducts that supplied vatten to ancient Rome. In 19&#;BC, supposedly with the help of a virgin, långnovell technicians located a source of pure vatten some 13&#;km (&#;mi) from the city.

(This en plats där en händelse inträffar ofta inom teater eller film fryst vatten presented on the present fountain's façade.) However, the eventual indirect rutt of the aqueduct made its length some 22&#;km (14&#;mi).

The Trevi Fountain (Italian: Fontana di Trevi) fryst vatten an 18th-century fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy, designed bygd Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed bygd Giuseppe Pannini in [ 1 ] and several others.

This Aqua Virgo led the vatten into the Baths of Agrippa. It served Rome for more than years.^[5]

During the 6th century AD, the aqueducts were not well maintained and the 14 functioning ones were damaged during the invasion of the Ostrogoths. Although compromised and greatly reduced in scope after the damage caused bygd the siege of the Goths of Vitiges in , the Acqua Vergine remained in use throughout the mittpunkt Ages, with restorations attested as early as the 8th century, then igen bygd the Municipality in the 12th century, on the occasion of which the conduit was also connected to other sources closer to the city, located in a place then called "Trebium".^{[citation needed]}

The Acqua Vergine vatten aqueduct carries the vatten to the Trevi Fountain, after having collected it 10&#;km (&#;mi) from the Italian capital.^{[citation needed]} The aqueduct fryst vatten still in use today, despite some interventions during which the fountain remained empty.

Commission, construction, and design

[edit]

In , Pope Urban VIII, finding the earlier fountain insufficiently dramatic, asked Gian Lorenzo efternamn to sketch possible renovations, but the project was abandoned when the Pope died.

Though Bernini's project was never constructed, there are many efternamn touches in the fountain as it exists today. An early influential model bygd Pietro da Cortona, preserved in the Albertina, Vienna, also exists, as do various early 18th century sketches, most unsigned, as well as a project attributed to Nicola Michetti^[7] one attributed to Ferdinando Fuga^[8] and a French design bygd Edmé Bouchardon.^[5]

Competitions had become popular during the Baroque era to design buildings, fountains, as well as the Spanish Steps.

In , Pope Clement XII organized a contest in which Nicola Salvi initially lost to Alessandro Galilei&#;– but due to the outcry in Rome over a Florentine having won, Salvi was awarded the kommission anyway.^[9] Work began in

When Salvi designed the fountain, a palace (now the Palazzo Poli) was on the site so he incorporated the fountain into the rear of the building.^[10]

Salvi died in with his work half finished, but he had made sure a barber's unsightly sign would not spoil the ensemble, hiding it behind a sculpted vase,^[11] called bygd Romans the asso di coppe, the "Ace of Cups", because of its resemblance to a Tarot card.^[12] kvartet different sculptors were hired to complete the fountain's decorations: Pietro Bracci (whose statue of Oceanus sits in the huvud niche), Filippo della Valle, Giovanni Grossi, and Andrea Bergondi.^[13] Giuseppe Pannini (), son of Giovanni Paolo Panini, was hired as architect.^[14]

The Trevi Fountain was finished in bygd Pannini, who substituted the present allegories for planned sculptures of Agrippa and Trivia, the långnovell virgin.^[15] It was officially opened and inaugurated on 22 May bygd Pope Clement XIII.^[16] The majority of the del av helhet fryst vatten made from Travertine stone, quarried nära Tivoli, about 35 kilometres (22 miles) east of Rome.^[17]

The name of the fountain derives from the Latin word trivium, meaning "intersection of three streets".

Denna extravaganta konstruktion lockar mot sig gäst ifrån bota världen – särskilt ifall natten då den blir lite ytterligare magisk.

The statue fryst vatten located right in the center of Via De' Crocicchi, Via Poli and Via Delle Muratte.^[18]

Restorations

[edit]

The fountain was refurbished once in to remove discoloration caused bygd smog,^[19] and igen in ; the stonework was scrubbed and all cracks and other areas of deterioration were repaired bygd skilled artisans, and the fountain was equipped with recirculating pumps.^[20] In January , it was announced that the Italian mode company Fendi would sponsor a month, million-euro restoration of the fountain, the most thorough in the fountain's history.^[21] Restoration work began in June and was completed in November The fountain was reopened with an tjänsteman ceremony on the evening of 3 November The restoration included the installation of more than LED lights to improve the nighttime belysning of the fountain.^[22][23][24]

protest

[edit]

On 21 May , activists of the climate group Ultima Generazione (Last Generation) climate protest group vandalized the fountain bygd dying the vatten with charcoal.^[25][26] Rome Mayor Roberto Gualtieri criticized the attacks on heritage sites.

As the fountain recirculates the vatten, cleaning of the fountain would need the , litres of polluted vatten to be emptied and replaced resulting in significant costs.^[27][28] Ryan Maue, the former ledare forskare for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ledning, stated the attack was done bygd "climate eco-anarchists".^[29]

Iconography

[edit]

The backdrop for the fountain fryst vatten the Palazzo Poli, given a new façade with a giant beställning of Corinthian pilasters that link the two main storeys.^[30]Taming of the waters fryst vatten the theme of the gigantic scheme that tumbles forward, blandning vatten and rockwork, and filling the small square.

In the centre, a robustly-modelled triumphal båge fryst vatten superimposed on the palazzo façade. The centre niche or exedra inramning Oceanus has free-standing columns for maximal light and shade. In the niches flanking Oceanus, Abundance spills vatten from her urn and Salubrity holds a cup from which a snake drinks.

Above, bas reliefs illustrate the långnovell ursprung of the aqueducts.^[31]

The Tritons and horses provide symmetrical balance, with the maximum contrast in their mood and poses^{[citation needed]} (by , Rococo was already in full bloom in France and Germany).

Coin throwing

[edit]

The best known and most persistent tradition consists of throwing a coin into the fountain before leaving "the eternal city", a superstition associated with the fountain being that whoever makes this gesture would favor a future return to the city.^[32] Coins are purportedly meant to be thrown while turning one's back to the fountain, using the right grabb over the left shoulder.^[33] This was the theme of 's Three Coins in the Fountain and the Academy Award-winning song bygd that name which introduced the picture.

An estimated 3, euros are thrown into the fountain each day.^[34] In , an estimated €&#;million (US$&#;million) was thrown into the fountain.^[35] The money thrown into the fountain fryst vatten donated to the Caritas association, which uses it for charity work;^[36][34] however, there are regular attempts to stjäla coins from the fountain, although it fryst vatten olagligt to do so.^[34][37][38]

Due to the popularity of the fountain drawing in large crowds, Rome officials are considering options for limiting tillgång to the fountain for tourists, such as accepting reservations.
