**New Measures Implemented for Trevi Fountain Crowds Post-Restoration**

**As Rome's Trevi Fountain reopens after extensive renovations, crowd control measures and potential entry fees are on the horizon to alleviate visitor congestion.**


**To enhance the visitor experience and maintain the fountain’s upkeep, the Mayor of Rome has introduced a new queuing system and is contemplating modest entry fees as tourism numbers surge.**

The iconic Trevi Fountain in Rome has just reopened after undergoing a three-month restoration to address longstanding structural issues and maintenance needs. Originally designed by Italian architect Nicola Salvi in the 18th Century and situated on the Poli Palace’s façade, the fountain has long attracted significant daily foot traffic. Historically, it has welcomed between 10,000 and 12,000 visitors each day.

In light of this overwhelming popularity, Rome's Mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, announced on reopening day that a new queuing system will be established to effectively manage crowds and provide a more enjoyable experience for all visitors. Gualtieri emphasized the necessity of these measures to reduce confusion and overcrowding, making the stunning monument more accessible to every guest.

Discussions are also underway for the possibility of introducing a small entry fee, which would contribute to maintaining the fountain and its surroundings, ensuring its pristine condition for future generations. This idea reflects a broader trend in popular tourist destinations worldwide, where entry fees can help fund preservation efforts and alleviate visitor impacts.

The restoration process, which included removing dangerous mould and calcium deposits, was completed just in time for the anticipated influx of visitors coinciding with the Roman Catholic Church's jubilee celebrations starting on Christmas Eve. The event saw hundreds of tourists attend the reopening, where many continued the time-honored custom of tossing coins into the fountain—a ritual believed to ensure a return to Rome, popularized in culture through Frank Sinatra's 1954 film "Three Coins in the Fountain."

Historically significant, the Trevi Fountain marks the terminus of the ancient Acqua Vergine aqueduct, which has supplied water to Rome since 19 BC. Beyond its aesthetic and cultural importance, the fountain generates substantial charitable contributions, with coins collected weekly totaling around €10,000, a portion of which supports local efforts to feed the needy.

With the city's efforts focused on improving visitor experience while preserving one of its most cherished landmarks, the future of the Trevi Fountain seems bright, albeit potentially regulated to maintain its integrity amidst the ebb and flow of tourism.
