What are your thoughts on the proposed €2 entry fee and 30-minute time slot for tourists at the TREVI FOUNTAIN?

Would you pay for access, even if it requires booking in advance and dealing with lines? OR would you prefer to view the fountain for FREE from the sides without the hassles of securing time slot tickets and waiting in lines?

While the goal is to reduce overcrowding and preserve the site, a similar €5 fee at the Pantheon led to long lines and uncertainty, complicating visits for those on time-restricted tours from places like Civitavecchia.

Who would have thought one of Rome's most luxurious streets, "Via del Babuino, is named after an "ugly" statue? 😄

Il Babuino, or "The Baboon," is actually part of Rome's quirky collection of "talking statues" – a group of sculptures that have historically been used by locals to post satirical notes and comment on politics or society. The statue itself, installed in the 16th century, represents a reclining Silenus, a follower of the wine god Bacchus. However, due to its misshapen and rugged appearance, locals nicknamed it Il Babuino, as they thought it resembled a baboon more than a classical figure.

Over time, the name stuck, and today, Via del Babuino, one of Rome’s most high-end shopping streets, owes its title to this peculiar statue. It’s a perfect blend of Rome's humor, history, and elegance!
