Trevi Fountain

Trevi Fountain

Immovable Culture Heritage

The current Trevi Fountain was commissioned by Pope Clement XII, who held a competition in 1732, with architect Nicola Salvi's design chosen for its monumental scale and harmonious integration with the adjacent palace. The fountain, resembling a triumphal arch, features a central niche with the sculpted figure of Oceanus driving a shell-shaped chariot pulled by two horses, surrounded by allegorical reliefs and sculptures representing the beneficial effects of water. Salvi's masterpiece expertly blends history and nature, reflecting the ideals of the Enlightenment. Digital interpretation of the Trevi Fountain can help achieve the goal of creating sustainable cities and communities (SDG 11). By using technology to share its history and cultural importance, it encourages responsible tourism and fosters local pride in preserving heritage sites. Furthermore, digital tools can help manage visitor numbers and minimize environmental impact, ensuring the fountain's long-term sustainability for residents and visitors alike.
