Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Selfie violence and illegal bathing at Rome’s Trevi Fountain

Have you seen Trevi Fountain in Rome? Created in 1762, this 49-meter wide Baroque fountain is one of the most famous fountains in the world. It was featured in old movies like Federico Fellini’s La Dolce Vita, the eponymous Three Coins in the Fountain, and Roman Holiday.

The fountain draws not only visitors but also coins in large numbers, as much as 3,000 euros daily because visitors throw a coin with the right hand over the left shoulder as shown and sung in a 1954 movie Three Coins in the Fountain. How many of those coin throwers have seen the movie?

Anyway, the more crowded a hot spot is, the higher the chances of disputes among visitors and violations of the law. And that is not limited to this popular fountain in Italy.

Enjoy reading and learn some don’ts in this Europe’s popular travel destination.
