Without looking at a map, the Trevi Fountain is the kind of destination you feel in Rome before you can see it. The cobblestone alleyways of the historic center begin to narrow with people, and groups push in on either side.
The merchandise of the stores hits a consistent trickle towards a more touristic audience, shirts and bags emblazoned with “Roma” lined up in a row or limoncellos claiming to have real Capri heritage perched in windows. One has only to round a corner to come across the Baroque masterpiece that has become a symbol of the city.
