The Wishing fountain in Rome
This 18th century Roman Baroque architectural masterpiece describes that the water system of the city was tamed under the gaze of the God of the sea, okanos, who stood on the oyster shell of tuffaceous stone to attract groups of tourists. Every day, 3000 euros worth of coins are generously thrown into the fountain pool, providing supermarket credit card subsidies for the poor in Rome.
Commissioned by Emperor Clement XII in 1730, this fountain integrates Triton, the God of the sea, the galloping horse, the uncut stone, the male God and the muse. Its unique design was written by the architect Nicolo Salvi, all of which are more dramatic in the context of the Poseidon palace, The palace was redesigned to include fountains. This remarkable complex has also appeared in several films, especially in Federico Fellini's "sweet life", where Anita Eichberg played in the pool water.
