Rome's iconic Trevi Fountain, a staple of the city's rich cultural tapestry, may soon require an entry fee as Italian authorities seek to address the challenges of over-tourism. Known for its tradition of tossing a coin into the fountain to ensure a return trip to the Eternal City, the Trevi Fountain attracts throngs of visitors daily, resulting in overcrowding and congestion around the historic monument.

 

In a move reminiscent of recent measures in other tourist-heavy cities, Rome's tourism officials are contemplating a 2-euro ticket for access to the Trevi Fountain. This proposal, introduced by Alessandro Onorato, Rome's top tourism official, follows Venice's controversial implementation of a 5-euro daily entry fee earlier this summer. While the ticket plan still requires approval from the city council, Mayor Roberto Gualtieri has expressed his support.

 

Onorato highlighted that the proposed fee is roughly equivalent to the amount many visitors already toss into the fountain while making their wish. "Two euros is pretty much the same amount that people throw into the fountain to make a wish," he told The Associated Press on Friday.

 

As cities around the globe grapple with the dual pressures of welcoming tourists and maintaining local quality of life, Rome's potential fee for the Trevi Fountain reflects a growing trend to balance economic benefits with practical management of crowded landmarks.
