Able to hold an estimated number of spectators between 50,000 and 75,000 units, it is the most important Roman amphitheater, and the most impressive monument of ancient Rome that has come down to us [2], known throughout the world as a symbol of the city of Rome and one of the symbols of Italy.

   The Trevi Fountain is the largest and one of the most famous fountains in Rome. It was built on the facade of Palazzo Poli (more properly called Palazzo Conti di Poli), by Nicola Salvi. The competition held by Pope Clement XII in 1731 had been won by the French sculptor Lambert-Sigisbert Adam, but later the task passed to Salvi (it is said that the pope did not want to entrust the work to a foreigner, but another version explains that Adam was to return to France [2] [3]) which began in 1732. It was completed in 1762 by Giuseppe Pannini and stylistically belongs to the late Baroque. The fountain was built with travertine, marble, plaster, stucco and metals.
