Rome, the most amazing place to see. The history, the museums, the architecture of Rome and Italy itself is incredible. We were just there and there are no words to descirbe the way you become immersed in it all. As for Venice and the problem sinking, after speaking with a resident,(whose heart is and always be in Venice and this coming from a young 26 year old), the problem the "government" implemented to stop the sinking and control flooding travel trailers for sale tucson has only added to the problem by increasing the tidal heights. He spoke of the the Venetians dismay and angst over this problem and the fact that the "government" refuses travel trailers for sale tucson to alter it's process because there are many pay offs and corruption along with favoritism regarding the companies that are supposed to be "saving Venice" That being said, it is still, at this time a wonderful place to visit and experience, although not all Venetians are happy to have tourists there and can be rude, as we also experienced.
OK...here is my question and I do hope that someone out there can answer what seems to be recorded nowhere; not on maps, not in books. Central to the image of this fountain is the facade of the building it adjoins. Ok.....WHAT BUILDING IS THIS??? travel trailers for sale tucson It is always pictured with the fountain, so why does the building never get any credit?

the Palazzo Poli. " The Palazzo Poli is a palace in Rome, Italy, forming the backdrop to the Trevi Fountain, which is the most famous fountain in the world.

And the Italians are all frittering travel trailers for sale tucson about because of a fountain is falling apart, eh? And they're concerned about Venice, which was originally made using wood planks to make the small islands there support buildings, might sink in the lagoon, eh?
actually tree trunks were used and then more trees were laid across to build a foundation. Contrary to what people think, the support systems under Venice are not rotten, they have become petrified and as long as they remain under water and not exposed to air they will will remain. The wood above the waterline rots away. ever see the poles in Venetian canals that have an hour glass shape? That is why. It is the rising water levels that are disolving the buildings themselves. If you went there and touched the side of an old building, it just becomes like sand.
It takes its name from its location at the intersection of three streets. "Three streets" in Italian is "tre via." Tradition says that if you toss a coin over your shoulder into the fountain you will return to Rome.
I saw the Trevi Fountain in '72 & thought it was pretty weathered. The comment about parts being roped off is misleading. It has, or had a circumferal fence around the whole front of it. You could not, like, go dancing in it.
A large number of structure that have stood for millenia are now being rapidly eaten away by industry-generated acid rain. Marble is particularly vulnerable.
