We must go back to 19 B.C. when Emperor Agrippa needed to fuel its thermal baths in Rome with an aqueduct. The majestic facade we see today is due to Pope Clemente XIII and the architect Nicola Salvi. The Fountain was the scene of one of the most romantic scenes in film history, La Dolce Vita when Anita Eckberg dips into the fountain said “Marcello Come Here”.
