ROME, ITALY - JUNE 03: Illustration of Rome; Italy on June 03, 2012 The Trevi Fountain is a fountain in the Trevi district in Rome, Italy. Standing 26 metres (85.3 feet) high and 20 metres (65.6 feet) wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. The fountain at the junction of three roads (tre vie) marks the terminal point of the "modern" Acqua Vergine, the revived Aqua Virgo, one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied water to ancient Rome. The sea inspired the scenery is dominated by a rocky cliff in the center where there is a statue of Poseidon driving a chariot in the shape of a shell pulled by two winged horses. Over the four Corinthian columns there are four smaller allegorical statues (from left to right): the "Abundance of Fruit", the "Fertility of the fields", the "Richness of Autumn" and the "Amenity of the gardens".
