These crowds have come to see something that nobody here in Rome's been able to see for almost two years: the Trevi fountain, one of the city's biggest attractions. For a long time artisans worked behind scaffolding to restore the fountain that was begun back in the 18th Century. Rome's city hall worked out that it didn't have the money to renovate all this itself so it asked for donations and in the end a major fashion house decided that it would spend around two million euros to restore this site.
人们蜂拥而至来观看罗马最大之一的景观：特莱维泉。罗马城里人们已经有近两年都未见这一景观了。过去很长一段时间里工匠们一直在脚手架背后修复这座18世纪的喷泉。最初罗马市政厅估算单靠自身财力无法完成整个修复工程，于是发出捐款呼吁。最后一家时装公司决定拿出约二百万欧元来资助这项修复工程。
