“The collection of the coins from the fountain is done using some specific tools in order to try to get the coins into the centre of the fountain and with a special pump we try to suck the coins into that tool which I will show you later.”

8. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Marco Tesan, ACEA manager of aqueducts and monumental fountains in Rome:
“Inside the fountain we find everything. As you can imagine, by throwing the coin anything can fall. We found bracelets, necklaces and dentures, we found umbilical cords, we found a little bit of everything inside the fountain.”

9. Tourists posing for a photo and throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain
10. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Gabriela Finxton, tourist from Chile:
“I love knowing that when you flip a coin you can help people in need. And in a city as beautiful as Italy, which is a holy city, that deep down we can help our neighbours in that way, with so much need in the world, I find it precious. It is a sign of hope and help, of charity and of joy as well. So with the year of hope coming up, I think that’s a good start.”

15. SOUNDBITE (English) Hamid Jahani, tourist from Australia:
“That’s the right way to go to the poor. So I think that’s a transfer of the feeling from the people who are throwing them into the fountain and then the journey is from their feeling towards the other people who are receiving that. That should be a nice journey.”
