Wishing spring, the most popular scenic spot in Rome, may be railed!

The Trevi Fountain in Rome, also known as the wishing fountain, is one of the most important landmark attractions in Rome. Built in the 18th century, it is the largest and most popular Baroque fountain in Rome. Every year, 20 million tourists visit Rome, and most of them want to put a coin in the spring and make a wish to 'help' them return to Rome.

Trevi fountain is one of the most popular attractions in Rome

However, compared with the huge number of tourists, the Trevi square where the fountain is located can be said to be quite small. In addition to the evening, the road to there is always in a state of congestion. There are a large number of people on the square. Many tourists not only want to make a wish, but also want to take a selfie by the pool of the fountain. What's more, they will soak their feet in the fountain and jump into the pool to swim. There are a lot of people in front of the fountain, and many people sit on the edge of marble.

A few years ago, Rome issued a ban on tourists who love to play with water. They are not allowed to wash their feet or swim in the pool, but they are still banned repeatedly. Now that Rome is really coming, the city government is about to discuss a new proposal to protect Trevi fountain.

If the new proposal is passed, tourists will no longer have close access to Trevi fountain, because one of them requires the construction of protective railings around the fountain to prevent tourists from sitting on its marble edge or entering the fountain.

In addition, the proposal will also limit the number of people entering Trevi square at the same time, which will be managed by the patrol police on the five streets leading to the square.

The Rome municipal government said that the purpose of the new proposal is to better ensure the safety of tourists, make them have enough space in the square, and make the ubiquitous Roman thieves have nowhere to start, and tourists don't have to fight for a selfie background. Of course, the ultimate goal is to protect Trevi fountain.

Only in this way, the beautiful fountain is surrounded by railings. Can people throw down coins to make wishes? Will the beauty of the fountain be destroyed by the railing?
