2.- THE FOUNTAIN OF TREVI.
Italy is the great country of fountains, and the fountains of Rome are world. famous.
The Fountain of Trevi, in Rome, is one of the most magnificent in the city.  It was built in the time of Pope Clement the Twelfth about the middle of the eighteenth century.
The water is brought underground from a spring many miles outside the city.
Tradition tells us that Agrippa's soldiers, marching alont the dusty road, met a young girl carrying water from a spring.  The water was so pure that Agrippa decided to build an aqueduct to carry the water to Rome.  The spring still flows, after nearly two thousand years, and supplies Rome with pure water from the Fountain of Trevi.

The Fountain and the Palace behind it are a good example of the baroque style of architecture, which gives a feeling of magnificence, movement and excitement.  This style is especially effective for fountains because of the moving water.  The Fountain of Trevi has fine sculpture :  a statue of Neptune surrounded by numerous other figures, out of and over which the water flows to fill a great stone basin that surrounds the whole.  There is a belief that if a visitor to Rome visits the fountain at midnight and drops a coin into the water, he will certainly return at some future time.
