Trevi Fountain, Rome. In 1730, Pope Clement XII organized a contest in which Nicola Salvi lost to Alessandro Galilei but, being Roman, Salvi was awarded the commission anyway. Salvi didn’t finish it, but it was he who incorporated the fountain into the rear of a palace on the site. [1920×1280] [OC]
