FONTANA DI TREVI , ROMA

Fernando at Fontana di Trevi

The Trevi Fountain, Fontana di Trevi in Italian, is the largest — standing 25.9 meters (85 feet) high and 19.8 meters (65 feet) wide — and most ambitious of the Baroque fountain of Rome. It is located in the rione (region) of Trevi.

Fernando throwing coins in the fountain. A traditional legend holds that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they are ensured a return to Rome. Approximately 3,000 Euros are thrown into the fountain each day and are collected at night. The money has been used to subsidize a supermarket for Rome's needy.

Look what a crowd of enthusiastic tourists!

Fernando is in front at the Church of San Simeon Piccolo

The Church of San Simeon Piccolo, with a beautiful large green dome, located opposite the Santa Lucia train station, was built by Giovanni Scalfarotto (1690-1764) at the beginning of the 18th century and was intended to be a copy of the Pantheon in Rome. You can see the statue of San Salvatore on the top.

A Igreja de San Simeon Piccolo, com o belo domo verde, localiza-se do lado oposto da Estação de Trem Santa Lúcia e foi construída no começo do século 18 por Giovanni Scalfarotto (1690-1764), inspirada no Pantheon em Roma. No alto pode ser vista a estátua de San Salvatore.

The Church Gli Scalzi is the first church that you meet when you leave the Saint Lucia Train Station. The church was built by Baldassarre Longhena from 1654.The architecture of the church remembers the Roman Baroque and the facade, made by Giuseppe Sardi, is the only one in all Venice built with Carrara marble.

A Igreja Gli Scalzi é a primeira igreja ao lado da Estação de Trem Santa Lúcia. A igreja foi construída por Baldassarre Longhena em 1654. A arquitetura da igreja lembra as igrejas barrocas romanas e a fachada, criada por Giuseppe Sardi, é a única em toda Veneza que foi construída com mármore de Carrara.

The Grand Canal is the main water road in Venice and one of the symbol of the town and it crossing the city. It begins near Piazzale Roma, the entrance point to the city from mainland and leads to Piazza San Marco and to the lagoon, in front of the isle of Giudecca. By the years the sides of Canal Grande became a residential area and on its sides had been built the palaces of the most important noble families in Venice.

O Grande Canal é a principal via aquática de Veneza e um dos símbolos da cidade. O Grande Canal corta a cidade, começando perto da Praça Roma e indo até a Praça São Marcos, em frente à ilha Giudecca. Durante muitos anos foi uma área residencial onde foram construídos os palácios de importantes e nobres famílias de Veneza.

San Giorgio Maggiore is one of the islands of Venice, lying east of the Giudecca and south of the main island group. It forms part of the San Marco sestiere. The Benedictine Monastery of San Giorgio was established in 982 and its monks drained the island's marshes.
