• Piazza Venezia - The tour begins at Piazza Venezia, a renowned square where visitors can marvel at the grand “Altare della Patria” monument. This impressive structure was initiated in 1885 and completed in 1911 by architects Gaetano Koch, Manfredo Manfredi, and Pio Piacentini.
• Fontana del Tirreno - The tour will pause to appreciate the stunning fountains of the Tyrrhenian and the Adriatic, crafted alongside Sacconi, the designer of the Altare della Patria. These fountains are perfectly symmetrical, symbolizing the two major seas that border Italy: the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Adriatic Sea.
• Fontana delle Tartarughe - As the tour continues, visitors will encounter the Turtle Fountain. Constructed between 1581 and 1588, this fountain was designed by Giacomo della Porta. Its unique feature is the presence of four bronze turtles, which appear to play with dolphins, positioned on shell-shaped basins.
• Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi - The tour will proceed to Piazza Navona, one of Rome’s most beautiful squares. This square is particularly famous for its three fountains, with the most notable being the Fountain of the Four Rivers, designed by Bernini and built between 1648 and 1651. The fountain’s name reflects its representation of the four major rivers: the Danube, the Rio de la Plata, the Nile, and the Ganges.
• Trevi Fountain - The next destination is the iconic Trevi Fountain, arguably the most famous fountain globally. Inaugurated in 1762, it is closely linked to the Acqua Vergine aqueduct. The fountain’s creation was commissioned by Pope Clement XII, who held a design competition won by architect Nicola Salvi.
• Vicus Caprarius – the City of Water - The final, yet equally significant stop is Vicus Caprarius, also known as the City of Water. This underground aqueduct, located beneath the Trevi Fountain, was discovered in 1999 in a cinema’s basement. Inside, visitors can see a water tank connected to the Vergine aqueduct.
