Coins tossed into the Trevi Fountain are donated to charity

Categories

Did you know that the coins tossed into the Trevi Fountain are donated to charity to help the poor and homeless? Almost $1.7 million is collected every year from the attraction. When you visit Rome you must take the time to visit this historic sculptured fountain by Giuseppe Pannini. Standing nearly 86 ft tall and 161.3 ft wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world.

For your movie buffs, the fountain has appeared in several films over the years including Roman Holiday, Federico Fellini's La Dolce Vita, Three Coins in the Fountain, The Lizzie McGuire Movie, and Sabrina Goes to Rome. If you'd like to see the great treasures that await you in Rome, Florence and Venice then you may want to consider an 8-day land excursion like this one from Tauck, a name synonymous with luxury. Travels off beaten paths experience that most visitors seldom see, behind the scenes in three of its most beguiling cities... in Venice, find masterpieces in the bohemian backstreets of San Polo... on a Florence tour, get a rare look at Renaissance art restoration; wine and dine at a hilltop fortress that shelters the wine cellars of the Frescobaldi family (vintners since the 14th century); and visit the palazzo of a concert pianist in the heart of the city for an intimate evening of music, aperitifs, and an insider's look at local history... in Rome, tour the Vatican Museums, off-hours, including halls and rooms seldom open to the public; and visit Castel Gandolfo, the summer residence of the Pope.

Discover Rome, Florence and Venice the Culturious way... close and personal, outside the lines. | Need a Luxury Travel Consultant?
