The temple was commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus. The building is cylindrical with a portico of large granite Corinthian columns. A rectangular vestibule links the porch to the rotunda, which is under a coffered concrete dome, with a central opening to the sky. It is one of the best-preserved of all Ancient Roman buildings.  ]]> https://cleartalking.com/main/trevi-fountain/ https://cleartalking.com/main/trevi-fountain/ ]]> Fri, 05 Jan 2024 16:54:56 +0000 47592 2024-01-05 https://cleartalking.com/main/media/reviews/photos/original/fe/6f/1f/FB-IMG-1704473466383-49-1704473835.jpg  Just outside the Roman Forum is the Trevi Fountain. It was designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi and completed by Jiu Seppi Pannini and several others. Standing 26.3 metres high and 49.15 metres wide, it is the largest Baroque fountain in the city and one of the most famous fountains in the world. The backdrop for the fountain is the Palazzo Poli, given a new facade with a giant order of Corinthian pilasters that link the two main storeys. Taming of the waters is the theme of the gigantic scheme that tumbles forward, mixing water and rockwork, and filling the small square.]]>
