A two euro ticket. This is what tourists will have to pay from January 7th to visit the Trevi Fountain, while access for Romans will continue to be free. A choice that should bring 20 million euros into the municipal coffers, according to what Corriere della Sera writes.
For about a year now, the flow of visitors has been limited, with a maximum limit of 400 people who can stay in the area. From January two lanes will be organised, one for Romans and the other for tourists, and those who have to pay will also be able to use a credit card.
Requested by the councilor for Tourism and major events, Alessandro Onorato, and shared by the municipal administration, the choice goes in the direction of safeguarding the largest fountain in Rome, a late-baroque masterpiece by Nicola Salvi, which in the first six months of this year alone recorded over 5 million and 300 thousand visitors, more than the Pantheon had in the whole of 2024 (4,086,947 admissions). The resources deriving from the payment of the ticket should be allocated to improving the tourist offer and services
