ROME (AP) — Rome’s iconic Trevi Fountain reopened Sunday after three months of renovations, just in time for the inauguration of the 2025 Jubilee Holy Year that is expected to draw millions of visitors.
The renovation work on the 18th-century monument that's one of the Italian capital's main attractions cost 327,000 euros ($341,000).
To avoid overcrowding, the monument will be limited to 400 visitors at a time.
“This way visitors will have ample opportunity to observe it and understand the values it embodies,” said Claudio Parisi Presicce, Rome’s superintendent for cultural heritage.
