The historic center of the city is full of masterpieces of this cultural movement born in Rome during the 17°century, thanks to the Roman Catholic Church that encouraged this style. The first stop of our Tour will be Piazza del Popolo, a large urban square; the name means “People’s Square”.

In the middle of the suare oyu can admire the Early Baroque fountain called Fontana della Barcaccia standing at the base of scalinata. Next you will see the very famous Trevi Fountain. Its magic has been celebrated in the most famous italian movies, such as Fellini’s La dolce vita, when at night a beautiful Anita Ekberg calls for his gentlemen Marcello Mastroianni from the fountain.
