The Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi) is the largest — standing 25.9 meters (85 feet) high and 19.8 meters (65 feet) wide — and most ambitious of the Baroque fountains of Rome. It is located in the rione of Trevi.
The backdrop for the flowing is the Palazzo Poli, presented a new facade with a colossus order of Corinthian pilasters that link the two main stories. Taming of the waters is the theme of the gigantic scheme that tumbles forward, mixing water and rockwork, and filling the small square. Tritons guide Oceanus’ shell chariot, taming seahorses.In the center is superimposed a robustly modeled triumphal arch. The center niche or exedra framing Oceanus has free-standing columns for maximal light-and-shade. In the niches flanking Oceanus, Abundance spills water from her urn and Salubrity holds a cup from which a snake drinks. Above, bas reliefs elaborate the Roman origin of the aqueducts. The tritons and horses wage symmetrical balance, with the maximum contrast in their mood and poses.
A traditional fable holds that if visitors intercommunicate a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a convey to Rome. Among those who are unaware that the “three coins” of Three Coins in the Fountain were tangled by three different individuals, a reported underway interpretation is that two coins will lead to a new romance and three will ensure either a marriage or divorce. A reported underway edition of this fable is that it is serendipitous to intercommunicate three coins with one’s right hand over one’s left margin into the Trevi Fountain.
