Rome city officials are considering a 2-euro fee to access Rome’s famed Trevi Fountain.
Seemingly every tourist in Rome knows the key to returning to the Eternal City is to toss a coin into theand make a wish. The result: Hoards of visitors packing the Baroque monument any given day, taking selfies and betting on a return trip.
The proposal by city’s top tourism official, Alessandro Onorato, comes after the Italian lagoon city of Venice tested a controversial 5-euro daytripper access fee to the city this summer. It must be deliberated by the City Council before it takes effect, but the city’s mayor, Roberto Gualtieri, has already voiced support.“Two euros is more or less the same amount that people toss into the fountain to make a wish,’’ Onorato told The Associated Press Friday.
Onorato said he hopes to test the entrance fee, which would be managed through a reservation system and a QR code, in time for the 2025 Jubilee Holy Year, and have the system operational by spring.
