Fontana di Trevi still charming

I was at Trevi fountain mid - late morning today, and so was everybody else, just as busy as ever. Guards are stationed at both ends of the walkway over the fountain, allowing only a certain number of people on the walkway at a time.

People have found a new foto op at Trevi. The bridge puts us near to those magnificent winged horses, offering new opportunities to make memorable fotos.
So the walkway goes fairly slow; nobody wants to rush friends and family making fotos of a lifetime.

Everybody was laughing and having a good time. Signs are posted everywhere Not to throw coins from the walkway. There is a small place on the street where we can throw coins in a pool some yards in front of us. Some people actually miss the pool. I didn't miss.

I'm glad I went back to Trevi. It may be dry, but everybody still loved being there, making Trevi as enchanting as ever.

Jeff, thanks for the webcam and Sandra thanks for the report. From some of the other descriptions here it sounded like you couldn't see the fountain at all. Looks to me like the Italians are doing a good job of refurbishing and keeping the visitors happy!
