Fountains around Rome


As you walk around Rome you see many different flowing water fountains. Some are very small and some are very large. The small fountains are meant to be used as a means of hydration for the passers by. The water is extremely fresh and cold. It can be a great pick me up during the day, without having to spend extra cash as long as you have a water bottle with you. As for the big fountains they are really there for visual effects, and they do their job. They are very beautiful on the sunny days when you can see the clear water change into blue in the air with the backdrop of the blue sky. The bigger fountains look like a fabulous place to jump in and cool yourself off on a hot day, although I don’t think many people would think you were still sane if you did that. The Trevi Fountain is the largest running water structure in Rome, and there have been some crazy people who decide that jumping in is the best decision. The ones who do probably will never forget it, and have just made a memory for the spectators as well, saying they saw a person jump in this historical landmark of Rome.
