Rome's Trevi Fountain is being maintained for the first time in over 30 years, with a €2 entry fee planned.

Rome's Trevi Fountain is undergoing its first maintenance in over 30 years, prompting the installation of a makeshift pool for tourists to continue the tradition of tossing coins, believed to ensure a return visit. This practice generates about €1.5 million annually for the charity Caritas. To manage overwhelming tourist numbers, officials plan to implement a €2 entry fee and an online booking system ahead of the 2025 Catholic Jubilee.
