"The introduction of the access tariff to the Trevi Fountain reservoir derives from the experimentation started during maintenance work completed in December 2024," the city’s website says.

The historic fountain draws about 30,000 visitors a day, with peak days reaching 70,000 — more than 9 million visitors annually, according to the city's government.
