Rome's Trevi Fountain restored in time for Jubilee year
The Straits Times
|December 24, 2024
A restored Trevi Fountain was unveiled on Dec 22 after more than two months of cleaning and restoration, part of Rome's preparations for the 2025 Roman Catholic Holy Year.
-
The work, for which Rome set a €327,000 ($460,000) budget, included removing dirt, pollution, iron oxide and limescale from the 18th-century monument, one of its best-known tourist attractions.
At the time, the fountain was drained, but visitors got to view it from a temporary footbridge.
